Roxy’s Go Big Red Breakfast Recipes

These rolls are easy to make and they take no time at all to make them.  

 

Cinnamon Roll Bites:

 

2 Cups Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Cold Butter
3/4-1 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1/2 Cup-(1 Stick)-Butter, Melted

 

Made white frosting with powdered sugar, butter, milk and some vanilla, just eyeballed ingredients.

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt using a pastry cutter.  

Cut the butter into cubes and add to the bowl.  

Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until butter is in pea-sized pieces.  I used a pastry cutter.

 

Stir in milk gradually, adding just enough so that the dough comes together.  Bring together in a ball with your hands.  If you accidentally add too much milk and it becomes sticky, just add a little more flour. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Grease the sides of a 9-10 inch pie plate.

Place 3-4 tablespoons butter in the bottom of the pie plate, swirl to coat the bottom.

In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon.  Roll dough in 1-inch balls and dip in cinnamon sugar mixture and place in the pie plate.  

Drizzle melted butter over the dough balls in the pan.  

 

Bake for 23-26 minutes until rolls are cooked and butter/sugar mixture is bubbling in the bottom of the pan.  I baked the rolls for 23 minutes.

 

***If you are using a pie plate smaller than 10 inches, it’s a good idea to place a piece of tin foil in the oven under the pie plate to catch any possible drips.

 

Here are 2 pictures, one picture before I put icing on and the other picture with frosting.

Biscuits With Sausage Gravy:

 

I prepped the biscuits a couple of hours before I needed to bake them.  The biscuits get larger that way.

 

I also used a dough hook on the mixer to mix the dough after I used the pastry blender.

 

Biscuits:

 

2 Cups Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Crisco Shortening
1 Cup Milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
***Trust me, the temperature is not too high!

 

Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.  Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles a coarse meal.

 

Put mixture into mixing bowl with a dough hook in place!

 

Add milk GRADUALLY, and mix for a few minutes or until the dough pulls away from side of bowl.  Don’t over mix!  The dough will be very sticky!

 

Turn dough out onto a heavily floured cutting board and kneed 5-6 times or just until it holds together!  Don’t overdo kneading!  I floured my hands before

kneading!

 

Roll out dough onto a floured rolling pin to 1-inch thickness.

 

Cut out 2-1/2-inch rounds with a floured biscuit cutter.  I don’t have a biscuit cutter so I just used a small glass and rolled the rim of the glass in flour.  It works just as well so there is no use for me to buy a biscuit cutter!

 

Brush off excess flour and transfer rounds to an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.  I lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper to make sure the buscuits would be easy to get off and that worked great!

 

Bake until edges begin to brown, 13-15 minutes.  I baked them for 13 minutes!

Store biscuits in an airtight container!

 

Reheat biscuits in 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes!

 

Sausage Gravy:

 

Scallions, Finely Chopped-(White Parts Only!)
***I Eyeball It, Depends How Big The Scallions Are!
1-lb. Pig. Jimmy Dean’s Hot Sausage-(Pork)
4 Tablespoons Butter
4 Tablespoons Flour
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
***I Didn’t Have Any So I Substituted Milk & Thar Works!
Pinch Cayenne Pepper-(Opt.)
***I Like Spice So I Add It!
Salt & Pepper, To Taste
***I Used Garlic Salt

 

Preheat a large skillet to medium/high heat.

 

Add the scallion whites and a tiny drop of oil and sauté for about a minute.

 

Add the pork sausage and break up with a wooden spoon, browning all over.

 

While the sausage is browning, melt the butter in a Dutch Oven.  This will save mess because the pan is deep enough to hold it all and you can stir it without it going all over the place!
 

Once the butter is melted and the foaming has subsided, add the flour.  Whisk until it becomes a nice golden paste, about a minute.  

 

Add the heavy cream, milk, cayenne-(if using)-salt and pepper.  I used garlic salt!
***i just eyeballed it!
***I didn’t have heavy whipping cream, so I just used milk and that works!

 

Whisk until the gravy is nice and thick and creamy!

 

When the sausage is done, put sausage on a plate and using a paper towel, pat it to get the grease off!

 

Put sausage into the Dutch Oven that has the cream mixture!

 

Serve over biscuits and hash browns!
