Milk Gravy:
1/4 pound sausage, bacon, ham, or hamburger
4 tablespoons drippings
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
salt and pepper
------------------------------
Biscuits:
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup milk

Milk Gravy:
In a skillet, brown meat and drain grease, saving 4 tablespoons of drippings. Add flour to drippings and meat in skillet. Let this mixture bubble for 3 minutes, then add milk. Stir constantly until well thickened. Season and serve hot gravy over biscuits or mashed potatoes.

Biscuits:
Mix dry ingredients; cut in shortening; add milk; knead lightly about 10 times. Pat to 1/2-inch thick, and cut into biscuits. Place in pan so that biscuits are not touching. Bake in preheated 400° oven until golden, about 15 minutes.

Variation: Buttermilk biscuits can be made by adding 1/4 teaspoon each baking powder and baking soda and 3/4 cup buttermilk in place of sweet milk.
