Sounds good and easy, My kind of recipe, Thanx for sharing!

These are very good. I just made them.

I didn't have self-rising flour so I made my own from an internet website recipe. For every cup of flour add 1 1/2 t. baking powder and scant 1/2 t. salt.

I say scant because I used a full 1/2 t. like the recipe said and the muffins are a tad salty.

I will make them again, but use less salt.

What I love about this recipe is they are soooo low fat!

And soooo easy!

Biscuits with Milk Gravy
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2008
Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time: -- Cook Time: 30 min
Easy Serves: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients
****
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Milk gravy, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the shortening with a fork until it looks like cornmeal. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until well mixed.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly two or three times. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch cutter.

Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet. Gently press down top of biscuits. Brush the biscuits with half the melted butter. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining butter. Split the biscuits in half and ladle milk gravy over the hot biscuits.

Milk Gravy:
1/4 cup bacon grease
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk warm
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter
Heat bacon grease in a cast iron skillet. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly about 1 minute. Add the warm milk slowly and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir, until thickened, about 5 minutes, adding milk as necessary to control the thickness. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Serve hot over biscuits.
**** This is more or less how my dear old Mother used to make them but she usually added some sauage to the gravy.
Yummy..... And believe me - Bisquik will never subsitute for this recipe!!!
