Techniques + Southern Cooking: Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

I am very happy when my hands are working with biscuit dough. I'll share my favorite recipe and techniques for this Southern staple. Then we'll make yin to the biscuit yang - sausage gravy.

Because this biscuit dough can be made up to 5 days ahead, it's perfect for Christmas morning or anytime you have a crowd. But they can be baked off in smaller increments over the course of a week so you can enjoy them right out of the oven.
