SOUTHERN BISCUITS AND GRAVY



Southern Biscuits and Gravy image

A dear and very close friend of mine who lives in Australia asked me about southern biscuits and gravy for breakfast. It is RARE that I make this because it's artery clogging as HECK so if you're steadfastly health conscious...forget it!! It is an old southern tradition ...like grits. So if you only do it once every 5 years (haha) you're probably safe from a coronary. It's out of this world good! For those who don't know, biscuits and gravy is really more like biscuits, sausage and gravy. Every southern cook adds her/his own twist to it ...like throwing in sugar and vanilla isn't the norm--it's just the way I do it -- once every 5 years or more!

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
3 ounces cold butter, diced
8 ounces buttermilk
1/2 lb ground sausage
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups cold milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the dry ingredients. Knead in the butter.
  • Add buttermilk and knead on a floured surface. Make sure you only knead it just enough to get the dough together. Do it gently so the flour doesn't develop gluten which will cause your biscuits to be tough.
  • Flatten the dough with the ball of your
  • fist. Use a glass to cut out your bisquits. Don't make them too tall or the outside may get crusty while the inside is still too doughy.
  • Cook them in a 350 degree oven on a greased cookie sheet and then get started on the gravy straight off.
  • Fry up the sausage until it's thoroughly cooked. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon.
  • Don't drain the grease. You'll need it to make the roux. You should have about 2 tablespoons of rendered fat. Add the butter and melt it. Then add the flour a little at a time over medium heat, constantly whisking.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now start adding the cold milk a little at a time, whisking incessantly.
  • Toward the end of the milk add the sausage back inches When it's nice and thickened up add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut the biscuits in half, pour the gravy over them, and enjoy! We're talking breakfast heaven here!

SOUTHERN HOMEMADE BISQUITS AND GRAVY



Southern Homemade Bisquits and Gravy image

this is a homemade meal that i have been making for years. its really simple and easy!!!! my familys part is the white gravy it just melts into your mouth

Provided by Klynn101

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h45m

Yield 30 cookes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

biscuit, recipe
2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup all-vegetable shortening, butter or 1/4 cup lard
1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup you can use whole milk
sausage gravy, recipe
1 lb fresh sausage
3 tablespoons shortening or 3 tablespoons bacon drippings
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, cut the shortening into the Self-Rising Flour with a pastry blender or fork or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Blend in buttermilk with fork just until the dough comes together. The dough will be sticky.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently by folding the dough 8 to 10 times.
  • Press into a circle that's 1 inch thick.
  • Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Do not twist the cutter until the dough has been cut all the way through (twisting the cutter will cause the biscuits not to rise straight up.
  • Place the biscuits on baking sheet so that they barely touch. Gather up the scrap dough, press it into a circle, working it as little as possible and continue cutting until all dough has been used.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • In a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), brown the sausage breaking it up with a spatula over medium high heat. Do not drain.
  • Add the shortening, flour, salt and pepper.
  • Cook stirring constantly until flour begins to brown.
  • Slowly add milk while continuing to stir.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for one minute stirring occasionally. As the gravy cools it will thicken so if you want thinner gravy, add a little more milk.
  • Cut the biscuits in half and pour the gravy over the biscuits.
  • If you want just a plain milk gravy recipe, form the sausage into patties and brown. Remove them from the skillet to use to make sausage biscuits and continue the recipe the same way.
  • I hope you enjoy this southern biscuits and gravy recipe!

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the biscuits stay flaky and tender.
  • Work the dough quickly. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Don't over-knead the dough. Just mix it until it comes together.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will help the biscuits cook evenly.
  • Cut out the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Make sure the cutter is floured so the dough doesn't stick.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. This will help them brown evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Or until they are golden brown.
  • Make the gravy while the biscuits are baking. This will save you time and ensure that the gravy is hot and ready when the biscuits are done.
  • Serve the biscuits and gravy immediately. This is the best way to enjoy them!

Conclusion:

Southern Homemade Biscuits and Gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. These biscuits are flaky, tender, and buttery, and the gravy is rich and flavorful. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home that will rival any restaurant version.
