Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

For Biscuits

Makes about 7 biscuits
Oven Temp: 400*F

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup Gluten Free Flour (can use regular all-purpose flour as well)

2 Tablespoons Sugar

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) Cold Butter

2 large Eggs 

1/3 cup butter milk, plus 3 Tablespoons for brushing the tops before baking

Pre-heat oven to 400*F

- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking, powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.

- Cut in cold butter. Mixture will be crumbly.

- Whisk together eggs, and 1/3 cup buttermilk in a medium bowl until frothy. Pour into flour mixture while stirring with a fork until dough forms.

- Turn dough onto a floured surface. Carefully roll dough out to 1/2 inch thick. Fold dough together and repeat 3 times.
- Cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter and place 2 inches apart.

- Lightly brush with remaining buttermilk on top

- Freeze flat for 20 minutes

-Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown

- Cool 5 minutes, remove and enjoy.

*I have used whole milk instead of buttermilk. I have also baked without freezing - both work, I haven't figured out the reason for freezing first.
