Well, after a long hiatus, I'm back.  We've had company, been sick, and started a remodeling project here, so not a lot of time to get online and blog.  Fortunately, the visit was nice, we're starting to get better, and the remodeling is going pretty well, IMO.  But, tonight, I needed an easy supper.  It doesn't get any easier than breakfast for supper.  Sometimes, it's really easy, but I did feel like cooking, so we made DH's favorite - biscuits and gravy.  Some of you might recall that DH cannot have dairy, but there is a way to make excellent biscuits and gravy with nary a drop of milk.  Here's my method.

Brown a pound of your favorite sausage in a pan.  Meanwhile, preheat your oven.  My biscuit "recipe" (aka, the Bisquick box) recommends 450, which takes a while with my oven.  So, after the sausage browns, I let it hang out while I mix up the Bisquick.  I use unsweetened soymilk or rice milk in place of the milk.  After I get my biscuits ready to go, I turn my attention back to the sausage.  Transfer your sausage to a bowl, and have it ready by your stove.  Then, if you need a little more fat in your pan, add Earth Balance (dairy free margarine) and melt it.  Also add flour and mix well.  I eyeball it, so no real measurements for this gal.  When the flour and margarine are well mixed and have cooked a bit, add unsweetened soymilk.  I think I use about 3 cups for a pound of browned sausage.  Whisk the flour and milk together really well (my secret for no lumps) and bring to boil, stirring constantly.  When it is thick, add your sausage and reheat.  By this time, your biscuits should be close to done, because the oven gets done preheating sometime during your gravy making stage.

When your biscuits are done and your gravy is made, put it together for a fairly quick and very simple breakfast for supper - dairy free, even! :)
