I love flaky biscuits — homemade ones are always the best. Growing up, biscuits and gravy were a staple. I miss that. Lately I’ve been grabbing whop biscuits from the store, but it’s time to make them from scratch again and top them with a delicious sausage gravy. Link: kingarthurbaking.com

I just had sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast, but it wasn’t homemade like my family used to make on Sundays when I was growing up. I missed that, but it was still a good breakfast!

I should start making my own butter. Heavy cream, yogurt, a stand mixer — that’s really all it takes. Let it ferment overnight, whip it up, rinse it, done. The possibilities go beyond plain: garlic herb, honey, whatever I’m in the mood for. Can you imagine me doing this? It should be fun, right?
