Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. To prepare the gravy, crumble the sausage in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, then drain any excess liquid.

  3. Stir in flour gradually and cook for about 6 minutes, or until the mixture becomes bubbly and golden.

  4. Add the milk, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Cook until the mixture thickens.

  5. To make the biscuits, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the buttermilk and set it aside.

  6. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal.

  7. Stir in the yeast-buttermilk mixture and mix well.

  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3 to 4 times.

  9. Roll the dough out to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut it with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter.

  10. Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover them. Let them rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

  11. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes
