Recipes, recipes. Boy do I have recipes.

Another one from the files.

Sausage Biscuit Bites

• ¾ pound hot breakfast sausage
• 2 2/3 cups flour
• 2 TBS sugar
• 1 Tsp baking powder
• ½ Tsp baking soda
• ½ Tsp salt
• ½ cup shortening
• ¼ cup warm water
• 1 cup buttermilk
• melted butter
• 1 pkg dry yeast

Cook sausage and crumble.

Combine next five ingredients. Cut in shortening. Dissolve yeast in warm water and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Add yeast mixture to buttermilk, stirring well. Then add to the dry ingredients.

Add cooked and crumbled sausage and knead 3 to 4 times.

Roll dough to ½ inch thickness. Cut with 1¾ inch round cutter.

Place biscuits on a greased cookie sheet and brush them with the melted butter.

Bake at 425º for 10 minutes until golden.

The uncooked biscuits may be frozen for later use. Just thaw and bake.

Bon Appétit!

YUM. *discretely wipes chin* Methinks this will be part of our send off breakfast for our guests tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe. Perhaps I'll add in some cheddar cheese. Hmmm...

I made these for brunch today, and used a mild Spanish chorizo.

All I can say is "yum."

What did you use in place of buttermilk?

[Alison]

I put 1 tablespoon of vinegar in 1 cup of milk. Standard substitute if you don't have buttermilk. You can also use the same amount of lemon juice.

[Allan]

Thanks for the tip. That could save me a trip to the store.

Whole milk, 2%, or skim?

[Alison]

I guess 2%. "Demi-écrémé" in French. Not whole, nor skim.

More than I can say for that horrific recipe. No wonder y'all are turning into an army of Homer J Simpsons

D'oh!
