Love it when chefs do old fashion “like my mama” recipes. Those are a lost art and appreciate it. Unfortunately people will point out faults in people no matter what. Speaks volumes about them. You continue to do you…we love it. Thank you for all the hard work

[@thehungryhussey]

Thank you friend, I appreciate these kind words. It's a difficult thing to put yourself out there, because someone will rip you. Thanks so much for your support!

[@kurt3543]

I agree but there is nothing wrong with using grands biscuits if you are in a hurry.

[@pamelagreen1307]

I love it all! And watching Mrs Gantts videos - reminds me of my mama, Grandmama and granny’s cooking. I sure do miss them.

[@thehungryhussey]

She’s a great lady I do believe!

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

"Working it less, tastes the best". My grandmother use to tell me this saying when she was making her biscuits and I never understood it until I got older. Over-working the doe will give you dense heavy biscuits that aren't desirable for anything but dumplings.

[@Aaron-qt4bh]

I like to make bacon first then use the bacon grease to cook the sausage in, then i make the gravy. So good

[@thehungryhussey]

That's one way too! If I have bacon grease on hand, I'll supplement with that instead of butter, but hey, nothing wrong with butter either. Haha

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

You can step that sausage gravy up a notch and add some scrambled or cut up boiled eggs. Go even further and pour it on a pizza crust and top it with a lot of cheese and make you a breakfast pizza.

[@havingfun3619]

That's what I'm talking about. Breakfast of champions!!

[@andrewkelty3167]

That looks great! Don't worry about those complainers, you make them biscuits any way you want 😄

Yes, little cool to the air and some biscuits and gravy on the table. Some sliced tomato! Dang!

[@ihiohoh2708]

@@thehungryhussey Have you ever tried making these with lard instead of Crisco?

[@sportbikerdude]

I make sausage gravy and biscuits the exact same way. Turns out perfectly every time. Family loves it when I throw this down on a camping trip. 😊

[@thehungryhussey]

It's so darn good especially camping! Thanks for watching!

Love Biscuits and Gravy. Awesome recipe Matt.

I grew up and went to church with Miss Brenda my whole life. Randomly clicked on your video and got a laugh at your call out. Small world lol.

She's amazing!

If it weren't for stupid things like cholesterol I'd eat biscuits & gravy practically every day. So simple yet so tasty.

[@drwgisblaidd2650]

Ok, I'm still watching, I'm at 3:53, and the biscuit recipe looks like my grandma's, so far, so I'm stoked!!! BUT, you seem to have your heart set on someone busting your chops over it, so I figured I'd throw ya a, "you shoulda used lard, darn it!!!!" , I'm gonna make the biscuits, don't you worry about that. Gravy looks amazing, bacon renderings work well too. I gotta go make biscuits and gravy, Thanks Matt!!!! Oh, and Jacob, you shouldn't give the guy with the large wooden club, to much grief, especially when they're Hungry.🤣

[@thehungryhussey]

I’m not 100% sure, but my mom and her sisters and likely her mother always used Crisco(shortening). I bet they used lard at some point just because shortening wasn’t around. Glad you’re enjoying the video so far!

[@michaelquillen2679]

Mmmm...love biscuits and gravy! Looks a lot like how Ma-maw made biscuits back in the day (and biscuits went with every kind of breakfast...eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy, jelly, syrup, grits). She didn't use oil, she used good ol' lard. She always made more biscuits than anyone could eat for one meal. As she never believed in serving leftovers, the dogs got the extra ones. I might add, they were the best-fed dogs in Lewis County, Tennessee. Thanks for the video!

[@thehungryhussey]

Lard is what they had more than any after harvesting their hog. Crisco is what most ladies use now.

[@barryboudreaux106]

You did great, just like Ms Brenda. Thanks for all you do.

[@thehungryhussey]

Glad you enjoyed this my friend!

[@fathertime55]

That's some southern perfection right there Hussey!

Im from philly, though, I was stationed at Ft. Bragg for 5 years. The first time I ever had this was when I was at Fayetteville. I fell in love. My momma was from rural Tennessee but never made it, don't know why.

[@acs9787]

I’m in Wyoming and B and G is my favorite Sunday breakfast. Never been to Louisiana but I like Creole seasoning in mine. A nice heat when it’s below zero in the windy winters up here. It gave me a little validation for this non southerner to see I have been doing my gravy right all these years. Love this channel.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks for watching! For a little heat, I typically add some Texas Pete to mine or whatever hot sauce kick I'm on at that time. 😛

[@tonymackey370]

Looks Great

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

If you get lazy like I do sometimes(more times than not) I just buy a can of Libby's sausage gravy and a bag of Mary B's frozen buttermilk biscuits and it's not a bad alternative to homemade. Libby's sausage gravy just needs to be loosened up a bit with either water or milk, and I add a lot of black pepper because I like it that way.

[@RJ1999x]

That should be illegal in all 50 states! Lol

[@DenaInWyo]

I always make my own gravy, that part is easy. But there's not a thing wrong with frozen biscuits. I like pilsbury southern style.

[@reppost]

Good stuff. I like more than a little pepper in mine but I wouldn't walk away from it just the way you did it.

[@craigmcalister1791]

Awesome cook. Reminds me of my mom and grandma. Cathead buttermilk biscuits are the best. Sop them biscuits is some molasses. What a treat 🤤🤤🤤.

[@briangriffin9886]

Probably my favorite video of yours no Mayo LOL!! I was waiting for you to put mayo on the biscuits LOL

Biscuitville! I stopped there when I was passing through somewhere in NC a few months ago, and it was the most amazing bacon egg and cheese biscuit I'd ever had. Never heard of them before, but I live in Texas so that's probably why.

[@thehungryhussey]

They’re a NC based chain out of Greensboro, NC.

[@k304rph]

May dad made the biscuits and gravy when I was growing up. He made biscuits the same way.

[@jeff7878]

BraveTart, Stella Parks, has a great biscuit recipe to try. Little time consuming and involved, but absolutely worth it!

[@darrellallen7931]

You just can’t beat a good sausage gravy biscuit meal.........I love hamburger gravy the same way.

Excellent, Matt! I was down south this past week, and had an excellent biscuits and gravy in Savannah, GA. I'll most certainly be trying your recipe back in NY!

Lay the biscuit down, to grease the top side, then flip and bake.

I saved this video for the next time I make biscuits and gravy. I have never made biscuits that way but I will try. Thanks for the tip of cooking my flour. Mine always tasted like flour.

[@thehungryhussey]

I'm glad you found it helpful. The flour will also start smelling kind of nutty too, but it's certainly okay to try as well. I think you'll crush your next gravy!

[@DrJohn493]

Years ago, and I mean really years ago, we did homemade from scratch biscuits just like this. And when we got older and lazier, we discovered frozen Pillsbury Grands and we ain't looked back. And if you're really in a hurry, toast can be substituted for the biscuits. The gravy works good on skillet potatoes too. Ask me how I know.

[@thehungryhussey]

For sure bud! I like to use the frozen ones myself. Thaw overnight, and they are great!

[@davidcassidy6226]

By the way, my wife ALWAYS makes thin biscuits! I guess it's just what you are brought up eating. You still need to chunk that rolling pin and REALLY make those biscuits by hand. My wife doesn't measure anything either! I think you are doing a really great job!

[@thehungryhussey]

I'm working my way up to doing it all by hand, that's soon!

[@jlathem56]

That's a flashback to childhood for sure! Mom made "Cat Head" biscuits but the way she made them is very similar to how you made these. Thanks for sharing the video.

Good tip and true.

[@kmilesSC]

Mrs B's frozen biscuits will do in a pinch

[@PopsAllgood6967]

That sausage and gravy looks delicious. I’ve never seen biscuits made the way you made them. Of course, my mom never used self-rising flour. She added her own baking powder and salt. She was old fashioned like that. She would then mix her Crisco into the flour until it was crumbly, then the buttermilk. Now, I’m going to start doing it your way. I learn something new every day 😋👍👍

[@Pteromandias]

It's the same either way. The only thing is that you're paying a little extra for the manufacturer to add the leavening ingredients for you. The benefit though is that it is perfectly distributed and sifted, so you don't get uneven results like you might if it isn't mixed perfectly evenly.

[@PopsAllgood6967]

@@Pteromandias Thanks for the reply.

[@thehungryhussey]

He’s exactly right!

[@DenaInWyo]

Your biscuits will rise better if they're actually touching when you start them. No idea why, but it's true. Also, in place of some of your salt, try a chicken bullion cube or even better, some Better than Bullion (chicken). Adds a ton of rich flavor.

[@thehungryhussey]

You’re right, if they touch they’ll rise more,

[@unclerocky2843]

Matt another great cook! I love biscuits and gravy. The next time you make some try adding a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to take it to the next level.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks bud!

[@clyftonhearn1804]

I was concerned for your gravy when you put your sausage straight on the griddle top! I was like whoops he gonna need somethin, somethin for the rue… lol! Something’s just aren’t made for the griddle. I want all my sausage grease for my gravy. But I will say I was impressed with the making of biscuits on the griddle. My all time favorite breakfast!Except you were missing a couple eggs over medium on those biscuits before the gravy!!!

[@thehungryhussey]

So the reason I like to do it all on the griddle is to appeal to those folks that might only have this as their cooking device as well as campers, etc. Showing the versatility. Even if I'd had that sausage in a pan, it wouldn't have had enough fat and I'd have to supplement.

[@hoyt5string]

That Biscuitville shoutout ❤

[@thehungryhussey]

Little local love!

[@mnkycmnkydu]

Here is a tips for yall... When you first add liquid to the roux... make it chicken stock.. (even just buillion and water)... THEN add milk.. cook down... . THEN add some cream to finish. Garnish with LOADS of black pepper. Also,, while I'm at it, get some color on that sausage.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks boss!

[@babybirdmedia7909]

Did you know that crisco was originally developed back in the day to be a diesel engine lubricant? YUM! Use a natural animal fat like bacon grease.

[@thehungryhussey]

That’s actually not true and undetermined. Thanks for watching anyway! Crisco has been used by my family for decades my friend and all is well.

[@BEDavisBrown]

I've always heard that Martha White flour was the best for biscuits, they sponsored Flatt & Scruggs for a long time after all. BTW no one sells Martha White flour in Arizona and Amazon gouges.

[@thehungryhussey]

There’s a few “good ones” around for flour along with local milling companies too.

[@Jigaboo1929]

Hussey I’m hungry now

[@thehungryhussey]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@RickHowell89]

I just started using a couple of diced thick sliced sea salt and pepper bacon before starting the sausage. I found that gives more than enough fat for the roux and gives that wonderful meat candy flavor to the gravy.

[@thehungryhussey]

Sounds delish!

[@TechnicaledgeWrestle]

corn starch instead of flour

[@thehungryhussey]

That would be breaking a state law!

[@superfark5914]

Biscuits bake way better in an oven compared to a griddle

[@thehungryhussey]

I use Italian sausage for my gravy. Wow is it delicious. Never using anything else again.

[@philmariop]

Look at cotton and tell me where the edible stuff is. Or use very cold butter and shave it with a box grater.

[@thehungryhussey]

Can use butter too, but most your old timey southern ladies use Crisco or Lard.

[@rcampbell4967]

There is no fretting about the gravy. 1 lbs breakfast sausag, 1/3 cup flour, 3+ cups milk, salt and pepper. That's it. I add onion and garlic powder and galric juice from a jar of minced garlic. That's it!

[@thehungryhussey]

Little funny story about garlic and to gravy. I added some once to my gravy because I wanted to “chef it up”. Served it to my momma thinking she was going to do cartwheels since it was so good. Well, that didn’t happen. The look she gave me was the look of “I’m about to beat you up boy”. 😂. Personally, I like it without too, but that comes to mind real vividly.

[@rcampbell4967]

Vegetable shortening.

[@thehungryhussey]

Haha... Hey, it's the little things, right?

[@RobbinsJoe]

What, no lard?

[@thehungryhussey]

You can use lard with the biscuits as a sub for Crisco. Also instead of butter for more fat to add in the gravy.
