in the bowl of a mixer. On medium speed add heavy cream and scallions, mix

with parchment paper, bake for 8 minutes. Cool. (Yields about 24 biscuits)
For the gravy: In a saute pan over medium heat cook the sausage in the
peanut oil. Remove from pan when thoroughly cooked. In sausage drippings
saute onions until translucent and tender sprinkle with the flour and stir
with wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and stir to combine and
eliminate any lumps. Bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and red pepper
flakes to taste. Reduce to a simmer until desired flavor develops. To
assemble: Slice biscuits in half lengthwise. Layer sausage on bottom slice,
spoon gravy over top of sausage and place lid on. Serve with your favorite
eggs. This recipe yields 4 sausage and gravy biscuit servings.
