I'll show you how to make the best homemade green onion/pepper biscuits & chorizo sausage gravy michael: I have no doubt that the gravy is fantastic in flavour, buuutttt. Somewhat runny, in my opinion. But hey. You do you. Whereas I am aware of the old way of making sausage and gravy (country style) which I have seen on other videos? The process requires that the butter and flour rue is cooked to a brownish color, on high heat, in a cast iron pan. However, more often than not, while cooking out the flour taste and then getting a nice light brown colour, there is a 90% chance of burning the rue, if not constantly stirring the whole time. Even then one may still burn the rue. I watch videos of Chef John and he has a trick that solves this dilemma. He roasts just the flour, until it is the depth of brown he wants. Still requires attention to get even colour, just a lot less personal time, constantly stirring the rue. This baked flour will still mix well with the butter, rather quickly, have the desired shade of brown (by preference, and does not interfere with the thickening process of creating a rue, nor the thickening process of whatever sauce, soup, etc, that you are making. Pretty radical idea. Thought I would pass this tip along. Having said this. Respect.

Your biscuits will rise higher if you place them in the pan touching instead of spread apart and you can get the exact mix of baking powder & soda, salt and sugar mixed in by using self rising flour and skip adding it separately. Add the butter and buttermilk the same way and then your onions and pepper. Hope this helps you get closer to hillbilly grandmother status. LOL Good luck Sam, You try my changes and I will try yours. These spicy biscuits look and sound really tasty. PS -- set that dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes before you start rolling it out and making your layers. That butter has to be cold inside the layers to give the dough air and steam with the soda bubbles, for the rise. That is the secret.

How about taking the rolled out dough for biscuits and instead of cookie cutting in rounds, cut into blocks or squares and place evenly across the baking pan and save a ton of time making perfect round biscuits. Have you ever thought of using a Italian pork sausage instead of regular breakfast sausage or chorizo. Still adds a bunch of flavors at the same time and a different taste to boot?

During this Crisis folks like us know how to cook can really get by with simple ingredients like this, Baking a whole roaster chicken is the best, after the first meal, you strip the yummy chicken and boil the carcass, make broth, add potatoes, carrots, celery, etc and make soup that will feed a family very well. I love cooking like that.

It's my understanding, if I'm recalling my grandmother's and mother's advice correctly, your biscuits would have risen higher if you'd put them together in the middle, touching each other. Not sure if that's true but it seems like I remember being told this. This is coming from deep country North Carolinians, both generations born and raised.

there is nothing Southern about that. The Chorizo doesn't have enough fat; no roux was made with the fat, whole milk is typically used, and THEN the sausage is re-added after thickening. and cheese is never used. That being said, I bet that is good. Just not anything Southern. Other than Southern CA!

Shortening and a flour/pastry cutter (brass knuckles for cooking) is how you up your biscuit game. You did it all wrong grating in the butter, you need to cut it in so the entire batch is pebbly. Ive seen Southern grandmas that can do it with a fork, Im not that good, but you can do it with a cutter.

Whole Foods fresh made Chorizo. No additives, vegan fed animals, AMAZING flavor! I swear by their in house sausages (no pun intended. BUT. It doesn't cook down into that slurry, it cooks more like ground beef because it doesn't have a ton of chemicals and additives in it.
