Heart biscuits and gravy. For the ones you love.

Roasted Red Pepper and Ham Heart Biscuits with gravy

This little number was for dinner on valentines day. It is both filling and warm for that cool day, and the heart shaped biscuits set off the whole number.

What you will need!

1 cup of butter milk (hopefully homemade)
3 cups of self rising flour
1 stick of butter(cubed and frozen)
1/2 cup rolled oats
6 oz of chopped ham (mine was frozen)
4 oz or roasted red peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 oz of shredded cheese to top (optional)

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor put in the flour, salt, oats, and frozen cubed butter. Pulse a few times.

Then put in some salty, smokey ham. Pulse two or three more times.

Add the roasted red peppers and the buttermilk, and pulse until a large ball forms.

Turn it out on to a lightly floured surface. Pat it out with your hands, or roll out with a rolling pin, until you make a circle that’s  1/3 of a inch thick.

Take your .50 cent cookie cutter (or any biscuit cutter) and cut them out and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, or on a silicone mat.

Brush them with any leftover buttermilk in the bottom of cup measure, then sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

If you can’t find a thrift store cookie cutter, Amazon had these ones that I like. Get them once, and pass them on to your kids. They will love it.

Enjoy with a butter or egg or top with gravy, which ever way says I love you…

The ham and sausage gravy

What you will need!

2 cups of whole milk
4 oz of chopped ham
4 oz of breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
Garlic salt
Black Pepper

Directions!

In a hot pan of frying, put all your meat. Stir and break up until the sausage is broken into little chunks and browned a little.

Then sprinkle with the flour until all the meat is coated.

Then pour in the milk, stir well so as to not get any lumps. Bring the whole pan to a boil, then add your garlic salt and black pepper. I always add more black pepper than I would in most recipes, it’s really a major part of the flavor of a gravy like this. So instead of a 1/4 teaspoon like normal, I would add a 1/2. Taste and try it for yourself, but remember you can always add more but you can’t take it away once added. Once it comes to a boil you are done, so smother onto toast, biscuits, or a spare tire. It is that good! And so simple too!
