Homemade Sausage Biscuits

• 1 lb sausage, browned and drained
• 2 2/3 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 pkg yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt). Cut in shortening. Mix water, yeast and sugar. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to dry mixture. Mix well. Add in sausage. Pat out to appox. 3/4 inch think. Using a biscuit cutter, cut individual biscuits. Bake 10 minutes at 425.

If you want to freeze these, instead of baking them right away, place wax paper on a cookie sheet and lay them it. Place in freezer until completely frozen and then move into a ziploc bag or other container. When ready to eat, bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

Servings depends on the size of biscuit cutter and how thick you like them.
