Sausage Gravy and Biscuits

Gravy

1. Brown 1 lb of sausage ( I like chorizo!)
2. Remove sausage and add 2 tablespoons of butter, a dash of sunflower oil and stir
3. Slowly add 1/4 cup of flour and brown the flour to make a roux
4. Slowly add 2-3 cups of whole milk and then add sausage
5. Salt and pepper to taste

Biscuits

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 tablespoon of baking powder
3. 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
4. 1 teaspoon of fine salt
5. 3/4 cup whole milk
6. 6 tablespoons of cold butter

General Tsaos Chicken

1. Coat the chicken pieces with 1/4 cup of cornstarch; set aside.
2. Beat the eggs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the flour and baking powder until no large lumps remain. Mix in the chicken until evenly coated.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Drop in the chicken pieces; cook until golden brown and no longer pink on the inside, about 12 minutes. Set the chicken aside; keep warm.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-high and stir in the sesame oil, ginger, and green onion. Cook and stir until the onion is limp and the ginger begins to brown, about 1 minute. Pour in the water, vinegar, and sugar; bring to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in the soy sauce and add to the simmering vinegar along with the oyster sauce and ketchup. Stir until the sauce has thickened and is no longer cloudy. Stir in the chicken and simmer until hot.
