Here's a biscuit and gravy recipe I have used for well over 10 years. It
comes from Jeff Smith's Cooks America.
1?2 pound pork breakfast sausage (bulk),
2 tbsp. chopped yellow onion,
3 tbsp. flour,
2 cups hot milk,
salt and pepper to taste.
1. Heat the pan and fry the sausage and onion until sausage is brown and
onion is clear.
2. Drain off grease except for 3 tbsp.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add hot milk. (It can be heated in the microwave. I heat it for 3
minutes and its not really hot but that's always worked for me).
5. Stir constantly until mixture thickens then season with salt and
pepper. (I add the salt and pepper before the gravy thickens, just after I
add the milk).
6. Serve over warm opened biscuits.
Harriet's Biscuits
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda,
2 tbsp. Crisco,1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tbsp. Crosco for frying pan.
1. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Blend in Crisco until mixture is coarse and grainy. (Use a fork or
pastry blender).
3. Using a fork, stir in bittermilk. Do not over mix.
4. Put on floured board and knead just a few times.
5. Pat out dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or a
glass. (Flour the cutter). Do not handle the dough too much or it will get
tough.
6. Use a heavy black iron frying pan. Place 1 tbsp. Crisco in the frying
pan and place pan in the oven and heat at 500 degrees for about 7 minutes.
.
7. Remove pan and place biscuits in the pan, turning each once in the oil.
8. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown.
NOTE: I believe the turning of the biscuits int ehhot oil before baking
makes the exterior nicely crispy while the inside is moist and wonderful!
I've made this meal so many times I just approximate themeasurements. Its
very forgiving.

I don't have one in particular, though a good homemade biscuit recipe along
with a sausage gravy recipe would work wonderfully. Either the Fannie
Farmer or Betty Crocker recipes, both of which are available through the
NLS and Bard, would do it for the biscuit recipe.
However, that does bring up a funny story. I remember a couple I knew, Gus
and Cyn. Cyn was southern with a family rooted in the deep south, while
Gus came from Ireland and held a culinary degree from the Culinary School
of India. While they were living in Ireland she started missing biscuits
and gravy, so she asked him to make them for her. This mystified him, but
she waxed poetic about it all the time. So for her birthday after a couple
of years he made them for her, still mystified as to why anyone would want
such a thing. She saw what he'd done for her, and she was appreciative,
but also couldn't stop laughing -- in the United Kingdom "biscuits" are
cookies..
