*Instructions
To make cookies: Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sifting dry ingredients to mixing bowl.
Cut the shortening or butter into cubes, then cut them into dry ingredients. You can do it by hand with a pastry blender or with your robot, Pulse until it becomes crumbly and looks like peas. Stir in the cold buttermilk until the dough is well moistened. Sometimes I use ¾ cup and sometimes up to 1 cup of buttermilk. The dough should not be too wet, but should be slightly sticky.Take out on a lightly floured surface about ¾ inch thick and cut into rings. Remove excess flour.
Brush the tops with melted butter or thick cream and bake in 450°F for 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and puffed. Yield: 8 [3] inch or 10 [2] inch cookies
To make the sauce: Place the sausage in a heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron pan. Cook over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Break the sausage with a spoon while cooking.
Cook until browned.
Drain all the cooking juices except 3 tablespoons. Sprinkle the sausage with the all-purpose flour. Stir until the sausage is coated, continuing to cook until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
