About

Here I serve Kentucky fried bacon atop a bacon fat–enriched biscuit ladled with creamy rich sausage gravy. Sometimes I add a fried egg, for good measure.

Method

Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, stir until the ingredients are incorporated. Cut in the bacon fat using your fingers
