Gravy:

1. Crumble the sausage in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat.

2. Add the onion and cook until tender. Drain.

3. Stir in the flour, a little at a time, for about 6 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

4. Stir in the milk, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce, and cook until thick.

Biscuits:

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.

3. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until it looks like a coarse meal. Stir in the yeast-buttermilk mix and mix well.

4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3 to 4 times.

5. Roll out flat to ½-inch and cut with a 2½-inch biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheet and cover.
