Henry Rifles- Recipes- Biscuits

These biscuits aren’t exactly a wild game recipe, but just imagine a bit wild hog sausage inside for a breakfast sandwich like no other or our West Virginia Squirrel Gravy smothered all over the top. If you’ve never experienced the unparalleled, soul-warming joy of fresh biscuits right out of the oven then you owe it to yourself to whip up this recipe on a Sunday morning. As an added bonus, it will make your entire house smell better than any potpourri on the market.
