Biscuits:
Heat oven to 450 degrees.In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt for the biscuits.Cut the stick of cold butter into cubes. Using a pastry blender or your hands cut or mush the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles gravel.Pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk and stir until a dough starts to form. Add an additional 1/4 cup of buttermilk if the mixture is too dry.Dump the dough onto a heavily floured surface and knead it slightly until it holds together. (Feel free to sprinkle on more flour if it is too sticky).Flatten the dough into a 1/2 inch thick disc, cut out your biscuits and place them onto a lined baking sheet with the edges touching.Bake for 12-15 minutes.Black Pepper Gravy:Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a medium sized pan.Add the flour, black pepper, and salt and stir into the butter until the flour is totally absorbed.Stirring constantly to prevent lumpy gravy, pour in 1 cup of milk to the pan.Pour in the additional 3 cups of milk and bring everything to a simmer stirring constantly (takes about 5 minutes).Turn the heat to medium low and simmer the gravy (stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn’t burn) for about 15 minutes until it thickens and the desired consistency is achieved.?
