I was raised on egg gravy, though very different from this recipe. My family called it “Po’ Do”. I asked why and was told “Cuz the rich don’t like it but the Po’ Do!”

[@evilbunnyofhorror]

Curious about your recipe because I've never heard of egg gravy at all until today.

I live in the very deep South, and my mamaw (born in the 1920s) made egg gravy most mornings to go with biscuits. Our egg gravy was made very differently from this, though. In this area, it's called 'rich man's gravy.' It's made starting with thick brown gravy - ideally with bacon grease for the fat, flour, and water, seasoned with just salt and pepper. She would beat up two or three eggs very well, then after the gravy was made and still simmering, she'd use a fork to stir the eggs in right under the stream of them from the bowl. The point of it was to make them kind of finely scrambled in the gravy, though. It was the most AMAZING gravy.

[@adriennef4637]

Southern Mommas have always made hard times delicacies. My momma did this with bacon grease or salt pork and milk. Water bacon grease biscuits and gravy was heaven if we had nothing. My Momma raised me by herself and worked 3 jobs but there weren't food pantries, dollar stores, or much government help at all back then. It was really bad and sometimes we had nothing to eat, no running water, or no electricity because we couldn't afford it. Luckily the lunch ladies at school loved me and would pay for my lunch when we couldn't afford the 35 cents. They gave me extra food and chocolate milk too. Boy could those ladies cook their butts off. Their food set the standard with which I judge many dishes even now.

Please share your recipe.

[@nancywest1926]

@@marylouerickson7841 oh, my, I just got notified of your response! This is a "double batch," but you can halve it. 4c. flour 1 tsp. salt 8 tsp baking powder 1 c. butter or shortening 1-1/4 c milk Blend the dry ingredients, then cut in butter or shortening until crumbly. Add the milk and mix just until blended. Knead gently a bit, gently roll out on a floured surface about 1/2 " thick, fold the dough over and pat it down. You can use a cookie cutter or mason jar rim to cut biscuits. Have your oven at 425 F., best if you have a cast iron skillet, heat it in the oven first. Place biscuits in a preheated skillet and oven for 15 to 20 minutes. They are easy and so delicious.

[@annettefournier9655]

If you don't have Buttermilk : you can add a tablespoon of white vinegar to a cup of whole milk ,gently stir and let sit for 10 min. Or use sour cream, omit the lard. It is both your fat and your acid.😁

[@tv-21]

I remember the struggle days. My mom would cry secretly. She'd go buy a pack of dried noodles and made it stretch. All I remember was I saw my mom cry. I didn't know how I felt about it at the time but thinking back, now I understand. I'm glad we all made it out and can eat whatever we want lol

My mom's parents spread margerine on every sandwich. EVERY sandwich. Bologna and cheese with mayo? It had margerine on one side. PB&J? Margerine on one side. Only hot sandwiches, like salmon patties, or burgers, didn't get that. It was years before I realised, they were doing that because they had six kids to raise on the pay of an elementary school teacher and a small-town furniture store's sales, during and just after WWII.

[@deereating9267]

😆It's so funny to me that you would say biscuits were a treat! Sliced bread was such a huge treat at my grandparents' house. We had biscuits for breakfast, cornbread hoe cakes for lunch, and the leftover biscuits and hoecakes for supper. We rarely bought or ate any kind of yeasted bread.

[@TamarLitvot]

I had a different version of this as a kid. Good friend's parents made it -- a white sauce with sliced egg whites mixed in, poured over toast, and sprinkled with egg yolks. I loved it! They had a French name for it (something about worms). I didn't realize until much later that the reason they made this was they had a very limited income. They were loving cheerful people, great parents, and the dinner was delicious.

[@stephaniestrong3920]

This dish is known as goldenrod eggs here in the US. I grew up on it as well as its chipped beef counterpart, known as SOS as well. I came looking for this though because my 5 year old calls this egg gravy.

Not from the south, but as Catholics in the past, we weren’t allowed to have meat on Friday. My mom hated fish. So once a month we would have creamed eggs on toast. She made as you did with the egg, but she added diced boiled egg for texture. I loved it. Most of the time on Friday we kids got fish sticks. We looked forward to creamed eggs on toast

Sometimes she mentions healthier Vegan substitutions. For buttermilk, one can use a cup of soy milk with a tablespoon of vinegar. I have done that, and use Vegan breakfast sausages, two per person, fried, crumbled, in this basic recipe, without the eggs, and it is amazing. I use a little more flour than she did. My late husband was a die hard (and he did) Omnivore, and could not make white gravy to save his soul. He started with way too much vegetable oil, as if he was trying to start with bacon grease or whatever, and it was like eating greasy wallpaper paste. Mine made him want to slap his mama. Be well, and thanks for shouting out your mutual aid group.

[@jimgilbert9984]

My mom never made egg gravy. She made chipped beef gravy, and it was usually served on toast. I grew up on this, and I loved it. I think the other guys in the US Navy thought I was nuts when I would go for that first for breakfast in the Mess Hall. That's also where I started putting it on scrambled eggs, not just toast, and I still do. Nowadays, everyone wants sausage gravy, not chipped beef gravy. I agree with you, Emmy. I love the smell of black pepper freshly applied to food. It feels like I've really cooked something, even if it just eggs or mashed potatoes, when I put pepper on it. And speaking of pepper and potatoes, I was surprised one day when a friend put not only salt on his French fries, he also put pepper on them. He explained that people put both salt & pepper on mashed potatoes and baked potatoes, and fries are basically potatoes. So why not? I've done the same ever since.

[@The_Nonchalant_Shallot]

I believe in the south we call that "Shit on a Shingle" 😂

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Want to hear a nightmare version of that? I knew a guy who put ketchup on his mashed potatoes. When everyone inevitable recoils in horror he says "You put it on french fries and home fries, why not mashed potatoes?" Nobody is ever convinced but you can't argue with his logic 😅

[@jimgilbert9984]

@@skeetsmcgrew3282 You want to hear an even more nightmarish version? My 11th grade History teacher had the same kind of warped sense of humor that I have. He told my class about how he and his friends had a grossness contest back when he was in 11th grade. The guy who won? He put ketchup on cafeteria mashed potatoes, stirred around just a tiny bit so it was a mass of white with red swirls, packed it all into his mouth so his cheeks were bulging, put his hands on his cheeks, paused to make sure everyone was watching, and suddenly pushed in on his cheeks so the red-and-white mashed potatoes shot out of his mouth, and then said, "Popping a giant, bloody pimple!"

This all looks delicious! When I make biscuits, I go the lazy route and shape the dough into a rectangular or square shape and then just cut it into squares rather than cut them into circles and having to reshape the remaining dough again.

I used to eat a similar dish with my family. Same milk and flour then mixed in hardboiled eggs on plain white toast. Creamed eggs on toast. It was great!

[@TamarLitvot]

That's how I had it also. Did you sprinkle the egg yolk on top (so pretty)?

[@Jaydit7]

Creamed eggs on toast/biscuits was a staple in my neighborhood after Easter (all those colored eggs had to be used, and egg salad only went so far) for nights when a quick dinner was necessary...

[@vickigsolomon1241]

Yep! No buttermilk in the gravy--just regular milk.

[@witchestaxidermy3494]

Yes this is how we had it too. I always thought it was a fancy meal only for Easter. Lol

[@gwentracy4751]

My mother made egg gravy by cubing hard boiled eggs and adding them to a medium thickness white sauce. The seasionings used were salt and pepper. She served the gravy over toasted bread. It was yummy.

[@pattyknox2252]

Much healthier than regular gravy, Emmy! And good addition of protein from eggs.

This reminds me of something similar my mom made for dinner a lot when I was growing up. We have an ancient Betty Crocker cookbook, and that's where mom got the recipe for her southern biscuits (she altered the recipe by adding some sugar), then she'd make white sauce with shredded, wafer thing beef (always Carl Budding!). It was one of my dad's favorite meals( although he never referred to it as SOS). As we got older, mom would make 2 batches of white sauce and add tuna to 1.

[@patricianorton3908]

We also had a variation: creamed salmon on toast.

[@nkfd4688]

It's like a pork gravy meets a hollandaise sauce. Neat 😋

[@whittkatt]

You cut in that shortening by just grabbing a handful of the shortening and flour in the bowl, and just massaging and rubbing it between your palms. It incorporates the shortening into the flour quickly and evenly. It’s done when the mixture looks like Parmesan cheese. Also, if you let your biscuits touch when you place them on the cookie sheet, they will rise better, and be soft in the middle and crusty yummy on top and bottom.

[@readytogo3186]

Exactly! My mother did the shortening with her hand and never measured anything (she only used one hand, though, to combine the shortening with the flour). She also pinched off a piece of dough and made the most beautiful biscuits every morning. Lots of practice. Love biscuits!

[@B.McAllister]

I envy the loved ones of chefs/bakers. The fact that their friends and family constantly get fed perfection just because their loved one just loves cooking and baking. Emmys family, Barry Lewis family, Babish aka Andrew and his wife and neighbors get to eat his creations. I love cooking and baking but it's too much work for me having a heart issue.. So I just have to imagine it whilst watching.

[@donnhussey568]

I love this, and I love biscuits and gravy as a meal. The only problem I ever have with it is the lack of texture. It really needs something crispy, like some bacon on the side, or even bacon bits over it. I'd probably also put a chopped up, fresh herb on top.

[@adaynasmile]

This is similar to the recipe I grew up on that we called creamed eggs on toast. The biggest difference is that the eggs were hard boiled and we ate it over cheap toast. But the rest of the gravy was very similar with a roux of butter (well we used the cheap vegetable oil spread), flour, and then some milk with the hard boiled eggs broken into the gravy, along with salt and pepper, of course. Then just "buttered" toast broken in pieces underneath the gravy. I'm craving it now. My husband thought it was gross when I made it for him but I love it so much and reminds me of childhood.

Reminds me of Sunday lunch/supper in the 60s or 70s when my mother would serve up chopped up boiled eggs in white sauce over biscuits (Betty Crocker revipe, for those who remember the cookbook from the 50s to 70s). She had up to 8 mouths to feed on a parochial teacher's salary (pretty low) so this was a common meal.

[@mollyjones4165]

Ours was egg salad sandwiches.

[@johnkochanowski8194]

This recipe bought back memories from over sixty years ago. Having grown up in the Midwest and the youngest of six my mother would make a gravy just like this but serve it over three pieces each of white bread. When she would make her fifty pounds of sausage twenty five pounds smoked and twenty five pounds unsmoked twice a year at Christmas and Easter she would always save a few links to “ fancy this up” with added sausage! As I write this I can literally taste that wonderful sausage! I did have a question for you. You mentioned that one egg came from a specific breed of chicken and the other from another. Is there any difference of taste between the two? Thanks again for another excellent recipe and video!

[@patricianorton3908]

No difference. Just like white and brown eggs.

[@stephaniedescoteaux4759]

Here is a different version. Totally delicious for a fast lunch/brunch Good with green beans , peas or broccoli, on the side Toast with butter. Bechamel (white) sauce with sliced boiled eggs in it. Put on toast. You can dress it up with cheese or herbs. Plain is great. Maybe with curry or hot sauce for fancy folks.

[@momroxx]

My Nana was from the south so we grew up with southern cooking. Grits, home made biscuits and egg gravy were our favorites. My sister and I learned to make biscuits. She called them drop biscuits. She would just drop big spoonfuls of dough onto a baking pan. She used hard boiled eggs and made the gravy and put the eggs in it. So good.

[@annabell222night]

Fun nail critters! Love that and your hard times playlist! Thanks for trying out a new recipe!

[@bettyir4302]

That's not just hard times but any day goodness. Tip - hang a dish towel from the drawer below where you're working so it catches the flour rather than having to clean flour off the cabinet. Egg gravy but cheaper - Add a dash of vinegar to milk to make much cheaper "buttermilk." Substitute the liquid reserved from a can of corn, carrots or green beans (or whatever you have on hand that might work) and add as much milk to equal what the recipe calls for. Yes, it'll take a little different but the corn liquid adds some sweetness.

[@terryenby2304]

I just realised you guys have salt in your self raising flour, and in the U.K. we don’t! How interesting!! I will keep that in mind next time I make an American recipe! I have always wanted to try “biscuits and gravy” because it looks a lot like dumplings and gravy, but we usually only have brown gravy here too. A white sauce would usually be cream (eg cream of chicken, cream cheese sauce etc.) or a béchamel (butter/oil and flour base with either stock or milk making the bulk of the sauce after cooking off the flour). I used to think biscuits and gravy was literally our sweet biscuits and brown gravy as a kid 😂 and thought it sounded awful! Even with semi-savoury ones like digestives or crackers. This looks ore like a savoury egg custard than gravy to me! But obviously that’s just local linguistic differences! It’s a great idea to stretch some protein and make a nourishing meal cheaply! Also,I ADORE lots of black pepper, especially on eggs! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@evilbunnyofhorror]

The gravy in biscuits and gravy is made with a bechamel. Then you add in ground pork sausage and lots of black pepper. It's one of my childhood favorites.

[@readytogo3186]

Brown gravy is best. Fry the sausage, make the gravy in the sausage grease (brown the flour), then crumble up the sausage (with your hands or a fork) and put it back in the gravy. Soooooo good!

Growing up poor we made gravy out of anything. Even boillion cubes. For egg gravy we scrambed the eggs in butter added flour and milk and salt and pepper. My kids love it.

I bought that Gullah Geechee cookbook after you first introduced it to us and loved it so much I got my SIL a copy for her bday!!!

Simply delicious ❤

Every time I see a recipe that says to use the 2 knife method for cutting butter into flour, I wonder, what the heck is that? I keep saying I will Google it to find out and I forget. However, you just showed us and I totally get it now! lol

We made biscuits and gravy a lot growing up, with the sausage gravy. Making the gravy with bacon grease instead of sausage grease was good, too. For some reason it tasted sweeter. We have to leave out all pepper because I’m allergic to it. Now I’m hungry for biscuits and gravy. ❤️

We had egg gravy over toast for our breakfast at the private high school I went to but it contained sliced boiled eggs in the gravy as well.

This is like a savory version of a bavarian doughnut. Interesting.

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

I was thinking the same thing. The gravy is a thin, savoury pastry cream.

[@TheSimArchitect]

@@Olive_O_Sudden Exactly.

I never heard of egg gravy. That's interesting. It's basically a savory stirred custard. I'll have to try it. Thanks, Emmy 😁

Came here to say this. Basically a savory pastry cream

I think that biscuit is just as our pogácsa (Hungarian salty biscuit). We have thousands of recipes, probably every household has 2-3 of their own. Cheese, cottage cheese, plain, with seeds, with fried lard... we eat is as a snack, or maybe with soup... some with jam

I have a great old cookbook from 1981 called Favorite Brand Name Recipe Cookbook that is all recipes from the back of bags and boxes etc

I love the egg curds in my gravy 🫶

[@emmymade]

So I've been told. 😆

Try southern biscuit formula l biscuit mix if you have it in your area..so good..we use the mix for pancakes and cheddar bay biscuits and cobbler topping...to make biscuits just add buttermilk..there's golden buttery flakes already in the mix... another treat my mom made when we didn't have money to spend on candy or cake ..was flitters...just mix self rising flour with water to a thickish pancake consistency and melt butter in a pan....a good bit of butter..and fry the flitters until lightly browned...these are spongy and delicious and buttery...can be eaten with syrup ..or jelly ...or peanut butter..or peanut butter and syrup .or plain

[@dulcinealee3933]

yum slightly lumpy savoury custard & scones!

[@vonong4807]
