Today is our last day of serving this community. I couldn't be more thankful to you all, our customers! To express my thanks, today every customer that walks in today will get a free drink (one/person). If you want, you are free to show your appreciation in the tip jar.

Also, today, we will NOT be closing at 4pm. As long as there is a customer in the store, I will leave the door open and continue to make you coffee and chat if you like! I'll stay as late as midnight. And I know one customer that will be very close to staying that whole time! 😉😉

Here is our much loved Biscuits and Gravy recipe:

Biscuits:
3C Flour
3T Sugar
1/2t Salt
4t Baking Powder
1/2t Cream of Tartar
3/4C COLD Butter
1 Egg
1C Milk (whole is best!)

Preheat oven to 450⁰
The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really cold! Many times the biscuits dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge, pulling it out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl
Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture. DON'T go too crazy here - you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough
Add in milk and egg and mix until ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky, but don't keep working it! You should be able to still see butter chunks
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Sprinkle flour on top of dough so it won't stick to your fingers. Knead 10-15 times. If it's still sticky, more flour!
Pat the dough out into 3/4" - 1" thickness and cut with biscuit cutter or glass
Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment paper and bake 10-15 mins or until golden brown!

Gravy:
1/2C Flour
1t Kosher Salt
1t Garlic
1t Onion Powder
1t Black Pepper
2lbs Sage Sausage
2T Unsalted Butter
7C Whole Milk
1C Heavy Cream

In a small bowl mix together, flour, salt, garlic, onion powder, and pepper
Lighly brown sausage in large pan over medium heat
Melt butter in the pan, sprinkle flour mixture over the sausage. Stir and cook until flour is absorbed
Slowly whisk in milk and cream
Turn up heat to medium-high and bring to boil constantly stirring to keep from burning milk
Reduce heat to simmer until thickened
Taste and add salt and/or pepper to taste
