Burton Lunchbox/Skillet: Biscuits and Creamy Gravy

Recipe by Kendra Elrod Marquis :)

Biscuits and Creamed Gravy, Trucker Style!!!

There are two ways to make the biscuits...
1) pop open the can 
2) make Grandma's recipe...which is...

Grandma Elrod's Biscuits for Two (makes about 6 to 8 biscuits)
2/3 C Flour 1/2 tsp salt
1/3 C Milk 1 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Baking Powder
Mix flour, salt, butter and baking powder together until grainy like cornmeal. Mix in milk until doughy (if too sticky add a touch of flour till forms a ball). Either roll out on a floured cutting board to 1/2 inch thick, cut into biscuits...OR...spoon drop for drop biscuits.....into greased pan. Bake at 375* for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Can be cooked in Road Pro...turn after about 20 minutes to brown both sides.
Can be cooked in skillet, either place in greased pan and use skillet like an over OR cook directly in skillet, turning biscuits after 5 minutes to bake and brown evenly.

Cream Gravy
Mix butter and flour in pan (can be in a skillet or a rice cooker) until paste like. slowly blend in desired amount of milk, add salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Keep stirring until desired thickness.
If you want a sausage gravy, brown or cut up cooked sausage links (when on the truck I like the precooked ones found in the freezer section). Add to gravy after the milk while thickening.
For a dinner Biscuits and Gravy use seasoned ground beef instead of sausage!!
To make a great tomato gravy add diced tomatoes while starting to thicken.

Slather biscuits with butter and pour gravy over the top. Goes well with fried potatoes and eggs!!!
