The gravy is the important part, take bacon grease, just a little bit and mix it with some flour. Stir, stir, stir over heat until you get a good brown roux. Sometimes it takes my wife about 10-15 minutes. When it gets good and brown after constant stirring you add some milk to thicken it up. I would have already cooked some bacon and sausage and then just stir that meat in.
Growing up, we didn't have any store bought biscuits, we just had some toast and it was mighty fine!
Don't drain drippings.
Add lots o pepper.
Add half volume of water, the other half milk.
After it begins to boil, add flour or cornstarch slowly to thicken. Use a wisk to mix in the flour/cornstarch.
Add 1.5 cups milk and simmer till thickened.
The longer you cook the flour, the less thickening power it will have.[;)]
2 tablespoons shortening or lard
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
salt and pepper, to taste
dash cayenne pepper, optional
Preparation:
Cook sausage in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring and breaking up with a spatula. With a slotted spoon, removed the browned crumbled sausage to a paper towel-lined plate. Add 2 tablespoons shortening, vegetable oil, or lard to the drippings in the skillet. Add flour, stirring until blended and bubbling. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk; continue stirring and cooking until thickened and bubbly. Add the crumbled sausage. If too thick, add a little more milk. Taste and add salt and pepper. Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper, if desired.
Serve over hot split and buttered biscuits. Serve sliced tomatoes or fresh fruit with these, or serve as part of a bigger breakfast.
Serves 4 to 6.
Gonna head to the store.
Would Wondra work ??

Baked up a dozen biscuits and fried some eggs.
Put 'em all together on the biscuits with a slice of cheese.
Would have made the gravy too, but we're out of flour [V].
Wasn't my week to buy groceries...
Instant flour is a low-protein, pregelatinized wheat flour to which some malted barley flour has been added. It has been formulated to dissolve quickly in either hot or cold liquids, and is most often called for to thicken gravies and sauces.
Because of its low-protein content, it is also sometimes used in making pie crusts and other recipes that call for cake flour, which is also lower in protein than all-purpose flour. Some bakers find the slightly acidic taste of cake flour objectionable and prefer the instant flour. The leading brand available in this country is Wondra.
You are just a fount of information.
Thank you.
