While I am not a vegetarian, I still cannot get enough of this recipe.  The original recipe comes from my brother-in-law.  However, I have modified it to be a little tastier.  Jeremy, if you want a Flay style throw-down, just let me know.

Buttermilk Wheat Biscuits

In mixing bowl whisk the following:

1 cup Wheat Flour

3/4 cup All Purpose flour

2 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoon Sugar

Now cut in 5 tablespoons of butter (I like salted butter)

Add 1 cup Buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk, plain yogurt works too)

Using your hand mix all of the ingredients.  As you are mixing if things remain sticky add in extra wheat flour.  This makes a nice layer of wheat flour for a tasty crisp on the outside of the biscuits.  When everything is mixed into a big ball preheat the oven to 400 F.

Sausage Gravy

I use morningstar farms breakfast sausages, but you can use other veg sausage or crumbles.  In a big saucepan put 4 sausages on medium-high heat and cook.  At this point you should divide the biscuit batter on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven.  I like to spread all-purpose flour on the cookie sheet before adding the biscuits.  When the sausages are almost done cooking turn the heat to medium-low and remove the saucepan from the heat.  Add in 4 tablespoons or more of butter.  I like to remove it from heat so that the butter melts but does not create extra smoke.

Once the butter is melted start dividing the sausages in the pan into smaller pieces.  This will be the chunks in the gravy, I like to use a wooden spoon to cut the sausages. 

Return the saucepan to the heat and add a handful of all-purpose flour to it.  While stirring add milk (organic milk please).  Now turn the heat up to medium or medium high.  Stir the hell out of the milk and flour.  Keep adding a little flour then adding a little more milk until you have enough gravy.  Now is the important part, mix black pepper to taste, I like to add a lot, but you may like less.  Once you are done with this the biscuits should be done baking.  It takes them 10 minutes to bake.

Serving

Put a biscuit on a plate and add some sausage gravy.

The above recipe makes 8 large biscuits and as much gravy as you need for these biscuits.  This can easily feed 4 people with a nice side.
