2¼ cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting surface

¾ cup shortening

1 cup milk

½ fresh pork sausage

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, then turn out onto a floured surface.

Knead briefly until no longer sticky, then smash down flat and fold over in half.

Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter, and repeat step 2 until all dough is used.

Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Form sausage into patties slightly larger than the same diamater as the biscuits — they’ll shrink a little.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry patties on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Drain on a layer of paper towels and allow to rest.

Slice biscuits in half and sandwich sausage patties inside. Add eggs, if using.

Enjoy right away, or wrap well in foil, freeze and enjoy later.
