Grandma’s Comfort Food Recipes

sausage gravy

This is very popular for breakfast in many southern states, but has spread to almost the entire country. The trick to getting a very flavorful sauce is to cook the flour and sausage together for a while before adding the milk, leaving the amount of browning you prefer wide open. What could be better than adding homemade crackers to your sauce? They are really easy to make and add a great touch to your food.

Grandma’s Flaky Buttermilk Cookies

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus a little more for dusting pans)
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir all ingredients together then transfer to a food processor. Cut butter into cubes and add to flour, pulse 6-7 times until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Or, cut the butter into flour in the mixing bowl, add buttermilk and stir with a fork until it forms a ball, don’t worry if it’s a little sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle shape, about 1-inch thick. Fold it over and gently roll it down again. Repeat 6 times. Gently roll out the dough a bit more, so that it forms a rectangle. Cut the dough into cookies with a floured glass or cookie cutter. Do not turn the cutter when cutting, this will fold the edges of the cookie and prevent it from lifting. If you have leftovers, form a new rectangle and cut out more cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place them in the oven. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Brush melted butter on top and enjoy. Serves from 6 to 8.
