Pawpaw made these every Saturday morning. He'd been making them since he worked the line at the diner in 1962. Buttermilk biscuits from scratch, sausage gravy with enough pepper to make you sneeze. He said the trick was keeping the butter cold and not working the dough too much. He was right about most things.
“Saturday mornings, 6 AM sharp, whether you were ready or not.”
