CRACKER BARREL BISCUITS AND GRAVY RECIPES

Steps:

• Brown the bacon in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, and then remove and crumble.
• Add the butter and onions to the pan, and cook until onions are just browning.
• Turn the heat to low and add the flour. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the roux smells nutty.
• Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring often.
• Add the crumbled bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.
• Add the melted butter into the batter.
• Stir until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out onto a well floured work surface.
• Knead 20 times (this is a very forgiving dough), and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.
• Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits.
• Cut out into 2" rounds (or your preferred size).
• Place close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Brush tops with melted butter.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; I usually find 8 minutes is enough.
• When you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter again.
