Would just love to have a bit of this. However it is off the charts unhealthy for anyone on a Heart Smart and Low Sodium diet. FYI, for those not aware of it, getting old really SUCKS. Can't have Bacon, Sausage, a nice Rib Eye, SOUP, Chili, or many other foods I used to consider a "standby".

My cooking has taken a hit as well. Since the stove zapped out the main breaker.

But I can recommend Last Chance Saloon in Sweet Springs, Missouri (an old river town, platted in 1838). Right down the block from the Old City Hall. Parrish cooks them up similar. Sausage, milk, flour, butter, salt/pepper.

Butter? Is that common?

Butter is sometimes used if the sausage does not have enough fat. Total fat should equal flour.

iffin you don't want to do frozen biscuits,,

get a bag of Southern Biscuit biscuit mix,




follow the directions, but change the liquid to buttermilk,

easy, relatively mess free, and damn tasty,

You're a funny guy! WHOLE MILK!

I know a guy who uses half and half because he likes his gravy thick. And he uses spicy sausage in his for a bit of kick.

Any way you cut it, biscuits and gravy are hard to say no to.

Pepper. Lots of pepper.

I use 1/2 jimmy dean hot and 1/2 JD maple

Brown, drain

Pour in heavy whipping cream. Pinch of white pepper

Reduce til thick

Rolan, Rolan, Rolan... Here I thought you were a Jawja boy through and through. Frozen biscuits?

My grandmother just popped out of her grave and marched over to your grandmother and asked did she know where she went wrong.

Even drop biscuits (shudder) are better than frozen.

Have you tried Powdermilk Biscuits?

My scratch biscuits are ready to go in the twelve minutes or so it takes my oven to preheat. It's not that messy.
I like a touch of freshly ground nutmeg in my gravy.

I have purposely avoided learning to make this because I don't want to be tempted to eat it regularly. Biscuits and gravy would be my request for last meal before an execution, and yours looks delicious.

Heavens! They're tasty and expeditious!

Had biscuits and gravy with moose sausage from the moose I ahotnthis year for breakfast.

I was fortunate that my grandmother from Arakansas taught me long ago how to make true southern biscuits and gravy from scratch. I love them and love that I know how to make them. I am one of the last people in our family she passed the way to make it down to.

I never dreamed they would this easy to make. Great recipe...and easy. Thanks!!

Nice recipe except I would add a ton of black pepper to the recipe, as well as some salt to taste.

Hmmmmm No protection.

Wondering where he lives....

I don't know the recipe she used (probably similar to what is found with Bisquick), but my mom made a dough and rolled it out with a rolling pin until about 3/4" thick, then cut round shapes from it using a tin can that had both ends cut out of it. The remaining dough was shoved back together, rolled out again, and the process repeated. When only a little bit of the dough was left, she just formed it into little log shapes and baked them, too. These biscuits did not have the multiple flakiness found in a lot of the frozen biscuits, but I do prefer hers. Alas, I didn't learn enough of how she made them that I could duplicate it. (No idea of ingredients, oven temperature, etc.)

I sometimes get biscuits and gravy at a local Waffle House--not too bad. IHOP also has them. None compare to mom's.

FWIW, I hate buttermilk and will not eat biscuits made with it. When I eat at Red Lobster, I request they make me some of their drop biscuits without the cheese (I also hate cheese).
