1

Start by making homemade pinch biscuits.

2

Add shortening (size of a big egg) to a mixing bowl.

3

Pour in 1 cup of buttermilk with the shortening.

4

Mix the shortening and buttermilk together until dissolved.

5

Use self-rising flour (White Lily) to thicken the mixture, keeping it a little wet and sticky.

6

Pinch off pieces of dough, roll them, and pat them down before placing them in a greased cast iron skillet.

7

Use leftover buttermilk to pat the tops of the biscuits for a golden color.

8

Preheat the oven to 500°F and bake the biscuits for 15 minutes.

9

Prepare the sausage and gravy by dicing onions and cutting thick cut bacon into small pieces.

10

Fry the bacon until it gets a nice golden color and releases about 1.5 tablespoons of grease.

11

Add the sausage in clumps to the skillet with the bacon and brown it while breaking it up.

12

Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onions and let them cook until fragrant.

13

Sprinkle flour over the sausage and bacon mixture gradually, stirring to avoid clumps and cooking the flour to avoid a raw taste.

14

Pour in milk gradually, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
