Instructions
- For the Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400*
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Using a box grater, grate the butter into the flour mixture. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until mixture is like coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and honey and mix just until everything comes together. Turn the dough onto a very lightly floured surface. Knead the dough just a couple of time. Pat to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cut into desired shapes. Place biscuit on a lined cookie sheet ( I use my pizza stone) about 1 inch apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the Gravy:
- Heat a large skillet over medium. Fry bacon until starts to crisp, add the sausage and thyme breaking the sausage into chunks with a spatula. Cook until the meat is crumbled and browned all the way through. Add the flour and cook , for about 1 minute. Stir in the milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy is very thick and bubbly (you can add more milk later if you need to thin). Season with salt and of freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve with hot biscuits.
