Feeding the Farmer
Anderson Farm & Ranch Biscuits & Gravy Recipe
When it comes to feeding a crowd of hungry bellies, biscuits & gravy is a go-to crowd pleaser! It has been a family favorite of ours for years! You can't beat a hot, steaming plate of biscuits & gravy on a cold winter morning before you go out to face the winter weather. It's my farmer husband's favorite breakfast before he goes out to feed cows on a sub-zero January morning! My favorite way to cook these is in two 12" cast iron skillets! Next time you have some hard working, hungry mouths to feed...give this recipe a try! The plates get licked clean every time at our house!
