This meal has its origins on the farm. It is a simple meal made from everyday staples that you would have in the house. Eggs, milk, flour, butter, drippings (leftover fat from cooking meat stored for later use). Imagine your day starting at 4 or 5 am and you are getting up to feed the animals, slop the pigs, feed the chickens and cows. You then have your morning chores of collecting the eggs, milking the cows etc. As you return to the house with the milk and eggs you have the base ingredients for this meal. But since you do this every day you don't have to separate the cream from the milk and then churn the butter as you still have butter leftover from a day or so ago. It doesn't take long to throw together a biscuit dough and get them baking while you toss a little drippings in a pan with some flour to heat up and begin making the gravy. In about 30 minutes you have fresh biscuits smothered in gravy flavored with salt, pepper and the meat drippings. Some water or some milk and then you are off outside to start your late morning chores. Now that most people don't live on farms we still want that taste of a farm breakfast. So cooking up some ground breakfast sausage for the gravy works instead of the drippings. Meat in farm gravy would be rare, but we have a grocery store with easy access to meat. lol

The Gravy is made with pork breakfast sausage, flour is cooked with the pork fat, then milk is stirred in, ground black pepper is added.

Biscuits are like a softer scone great with jam as well. The gravy is basically a béchamel saucy flavored with sausage and pepper.

The further you are away from something, the more around it you can see. So you 2 being all the way in India with me in America, I should find great value in your reaction. Biscuits & Gravy are a fantastic comfort food. It is very high in carbohydrates. You wouldn't want to eat it everyday.

[@willjohnson8446]

Biscuits are most similar to scones. The big difference is that biscuits are made with butter - a lot of butter. This makes biscuits far more light and fluffy. They can be made pretty quickly and easily at home with very common ingredients. They are often eaten as side dishes with butter and honey or jam. The gravy is essentially a well-seasoned béchamel sauce made with crumbled breakfast sausage in its grease. This is also quick and easy to make at home, with only the sausage possibly being hard to find. Biscuits and gravy are a great comfort food that is very filling and cheap, so pretty popular, if not very healthy. One thing you rarely see European reviewers do is add hot sauce to it, which is too bad. They are great with a bit of added heat.

Think of US biscuits as scones but superior in every way, with 3-4 times the butter content. What you call biscuits we call cookies.

[@undrtakr2222]

Ok, think of our(US) biscuit's, being a dense bread, kind of like a muffin. What you call biscuit's, we call cookies. And, with your origin's being from India, even though, the 1 on the right, is living with her family in the UK, you both still see "biscuit's" being what we call "cookies". Now, the basic's for our biscuit's are, flour, butter, egg's, milk(Or, my favorite being the buttermilk), salt, and yeast(To create the small bubbles in the biscuit's, similar to that of a muffin, or bread, but tiny bubbles, not unlike those bigger bubbles in bread, just smaller), and the gravy, which is known as a white pepper gravy, you cook the sausage(Breakfast sausage, not Italian sausage, but a simple sausage, seasoned with salt, pepper, sage, and some simple seasoning's), and crumble it, and without draining it(The grease from the meat), you add in, flour, white pepper(Black pepper, can be used as a substitute), and buttermilk, as the flour act's as the thickener, similar to that of corn starch. But, the flour turn's the gravy the white color, unlike the corn starch, which will turn it clear. And, once you have added those ingredient's together, you simmer the gravy, while continuously stirring it, as it thickens up. Now, in some restaurant's, they do add in, some finely chopped red bell pepper, but not much of that. Mostly a pinch, like the salt. Now, as I was growing up, this was my favorite thing to eat! I would even have it for lunches & dinner's, over having steak's, pork chop's, lamb chop's, and it being a hard decision to choose between this, or seafood(Lobster, crab leg's, shrimp, and sea scallops)!

Also Biscuits are made with lard ,not crisco. The flaky pie crust or pastry is made with lard.

[@peppermoon7485]

Can you make ? It’s very easy to make , look up Recipes ❤

[@KTKacer]

Biscuits for us are a softer, fluffier, (imo, better flavored) moist, but not wet, scone. Not a 'sweet cookie-like' pastry. The gravy should be a thicker gravy than the Brit 'brown' gravy, You could use butter instead of meat drippings, if you can do butter? otherwise I'd have to really think hard for anything that would substitute well. And you'd want to heavilly pepper your gravy w/ some salt too, but heavy blk pepper ground fine.

[@AndreA-dl5po]

Do please try making this yourself. I disagree with those who say it is like a scone. They also have scones in America which are much denser and harder. A good biscuit should be crunchy on the outside but light as a cloud on the inside. Three things are very important for good biscuits. Buttermilk should be used instead of milk. The butter must be very cold or even frozen. And thirdly it is important not to overmix. Otherwise they will not rise well. Just mix until all the ingredients are combined and then immediately stop mixing.

[@robertutecht3125]

Put a fried egg on top each biscuit.

[@rashadwalker8218]

Not a grits fan

[@mega00760]

gravy is easy to make, grits are horrible

[@redram6080]

Grits can actually taste really good if it's cooked right and you season it properly but most are cooked badly

[@Jdb74985]

I live in Louisiana and grits is one food I can't stand the taste of

[@AndreA-dl5po]

Grits can be wonderful. And I agree that they're not from everyone. A mistake many cooks make is that they're not cooked for nearly long enough. Restaurants that are known for making them cook them for an hour or longer. They're amazing with shrimp.
