Procedure
Biscuits
1.) Preheat the oven to 350F.

6.) Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to ½ inch thickness.
7.) Using a 2-inch punch, cut out 8 rounds and place on a parchment lined sheet tray.
8.) Bake biscuits for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Set aside.
Gravy
1.) While the biscuits are baking in the oven, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2.) When oil begins to shimmer, add the mushrooms in an even layer. Let them sit for a minute so that they get a nice brown color. Stir and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes.
3.) Add stock to the skillet and scrap off anything that stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
4.) Add the left over gravy to the skillet and bring to a boil. Continue to cook for 10 minutes.
5.) Once the gravy thickens, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Assemble
1.) Place two biscuits on each plate.
2.) Pour or spoon gravy over biscuits. ENJOY!
