LMAO at “it’s not biscuits or gravy but I don’t know what it is”. That’s brilliant. Normally biscuits with sausage gravy don’t have cheese in them. Def try adding cooked ground sausage in the gravy…makes all the difference. Lots of us expats in Florida and looks like we’re all enjoying the Butlers ❤

[@adamellis6785]

There has been a slight miscommunication. While those ARE biscuits, they are NOT the biscuits we use when making "Biscuits and Gravy." The ones we use are plain - no garlic, no herb, no cheese. I'd recommend trying again, using just plain biscuits, and most definitely making the sausage gravy to go with. Also, since it is most often a side dish, maybe have it with a bit of scramble egg and a couple strips of bacon. You won't have to pretend to like it, I promise!

[@emmef7970]

Minced sausage not sliced or chunks. This is not traditional biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and cheese are just wrong!!

[@terry22toons]

I'm born and raised in the USA - never had biscuits and gravy until about 5 years ago. Never had an interest having been from the North but my DIL made and, of course, I gave it a go. Love it - absolutely delicious! Big major differences from your preparation is we use plain flaky biscuits sliced and sausage gravy. Highly recommend that. Great show - thank you, as always.

Biscuits and Gravy is a Breakfast item, its very popular, My wife has biscuits and gravy often when we got out for breakfast here in Oregon, she just has a small order of those but its also available with eggs and sausage or bacon as a full breakfast, The name biscuits and gravy really throws you off, American terms are quite different. American Biscuits are very much like fluffy scones, shes never had cheese in hers, the gravy she has is a white gravy its got sausage meat in it, that adds to the flavor, She will often eat the bottom half of the biscuit with the gravy and save the top half to have with butter and blackberry jam. My wifes adventurous, I'm a bacon and egg man, boy do I miss English sausage and bacon. Thanks for the review we enjoyed it and thought it came out great.

That was something very different, it does make you wonder what it compares to with ours for sure. Very kind of the people that sent you the lovely box of goodies.

[@jennigee51]

You mentioned they're like dumplings Sharon, if you make plain scones and put some herbs im them, then put them over cooked mince and vegetables instead of putting mash over, it's called mince cobbler and is absolutely delicious, one of my favourite meals. I hope you try it.

[@butlersempire]

Yes, we've had a cobbler before Jenni.

[@Mycroftsbrother]

We eat them with our eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage, grits, fried potatoes (hash browns), and sliced tomatoes, maybe some cantaloupe slices or honeydew melon... and whatever else you like. Now THAT'S a proper American breakfast!

[@david-1775]

Adding the sausage and the grease from the sausage really improves the flavor. Biscuits by themselves, play the part of a roll. They are great for absorbing all those wonderful juices and sauces that would just go to waste on your plate. You can also replace your morning toast with biscuits. They go great with butter and jam but I would say honey is my favorite.

[@dalehammers4425]

Nothing beats butter and honey on a good buttermilk biscuit.

[@marywalsh8344]

White sauce is lovely on lamb or smoked fish. Absolutely lovely on mashed potato with butter. Fish fingers mashed potato and white sauce. Yum 😋

[@dalehammers4425]

Yeah, and this they made is a white gravy, but not a country gravy. Still good, but not quite the same thing. Also, not quite the right biscuits for biscuits and gravy, but Red Lobster biscuits are delicious.

[@robertaqueen6113]

I use pork sausage with sage in the sausage I add poultry seasoning along with the pepper,salt and milk.. I serve mine with buttermilk biscuits..

You need sausage in the gravy for real US Biscuits and Gravy! Also our biscuits are like your Crumpets!

[@christinemalone]

I thought American biscuits were like Uk Scones, Crumpets would be really soggy with the “gravy”. I agree on the sausage having watched a few biscuits and gravy videos

[@jevward5428]

No they are not like crumpets. Biscuits are more like scones but not so dry & crumbly. Cornbread muffins are like gritty fairy cakes. Biscuits, grits ( a bit like semolina) & gravy for br

[@jevward5428]

Breakfast yum I miss America

[@leighl3712]

No, biscuits in the US are nothing like crumpets. Biscuits in the US are like scones but just aren’t the same density. Biscuits are saltier than a scone.

[@lynjones2461]

All the American videos ive seen they always cook pork mince then add the sauce and pour that over the biscuits xx

[@KarenaDashfield]

You need to cook the butter and flour mix for a few mins to cook the flour, otherwise the sauce/gravy just tastes of uncooked flour. I think the Yanks have sausage gravy, which is basically fried sausage meat then you add the butter, flour and milk.

[@butlersempire]

there was no flour taste.

[@bettyb617]

Yeah they didn’t cook the gravy long enough

[@lancewilliams4847]

Yes, we Yanks have 'ground breakfast sausage' that comes in patties or a roll. This is seasoned by the Manufacturer's own recipes vary. Other than 'REGULAR', some other varieties are SAGE, MAPLE, or 'HOT' (spicy, as with pepper flakes). The sausage is cooked and smashed into crumbles, as you could get with a fork. The grease from the sausage is what is used to make the 'ROUX', but some people do add extra butter or saved bacon grease. Then the process proceeds - lower the heat, flour and stir until the grease is absorbed, slowly add milk and stir. It will thicken over a few minutes with some more stirring until the thickness you desire!

I've had biscuits and gravy and sometimes the gravy doesn't have much of a taste, but usually it's super delicious. I've never made any myself but there is some hit and miss depending on who makes it. When the gravy is right it's fantastic. There's two different types of biscuits as well and you can have chunks of sausage in the gravy. I'm hungry now.

I’m not trying to be mean but the biscuits you were sent are not breakfast biscuits. They are biscuits for eating at dinner time with meat and potatoes. Breakfast biscuits do not have garlic or cheese in them. Also the gravy needs to have sausage in it and the gravy needs to be made with the sausage drippings as it’s base. That’s true biscuits and gravy here in the USA. Please have another go at it with the right biscuits recipe and sausage gravy recipe. You did well with what you were sent but they’re not the right biscuits for breakfast nor was it the right gravy for breakfast.

[@dalehammers4425]

This wasnt really biscuits and gravy though. This was basically dinner biscuits and white gravy. Real biscuits and gravy are a buttermilk biscuit and country style gravy. Both are totally different than what they had here. The biscuits they made, white delicious, arent meant for biscuits and gravy, but more of a garlic bread replacement. Also, they made a simple white gravy which is radically different than a country style gravy. I would assume all the cheese and garlic radically altered the flavor away from what biscuits and gravy tastes like.

Want to 'CHEAT'?? If you have CREAM OF MUSHROOM (or chicken) SOUP, and have ground sausage as we do (we have it specifically flavored as 'breakfast sausage'), you can get the same basic taste. Make the CREAM SOUP but with 1/2 the normal milk so the soup is 'thick', not runny. Add cooked sausage crumbles, and serve with your leftover bread or toast on top! If you like that basic flavor, you can bother with the other method.

White sauce to me is for making parsley/cheese/bread sauces etc not putting over a biscuit/scone/dumpling. Maybe I'm too fussy🤔😂

Comparing biscuits with scones is like comparing bread to cake. They are a different texture, have a different taste, and different ingredients.

for your first time cooking it is impressive. This is one of my fav dish's as a American. You def need to try country fried steak.

Great video guys ive had biscuits and gravy from popeyes in the uk but the gravy from there is a cajun gravy brown in colour popeyes originated in lousianna so maybe the gravy is diffrent from around the states?? Im going to florida for my holidays this year so ill give the biscuits and gravy a try from there! 👌

[@dalehammers4425]

Every gravy is different, there really isnt a single codified recipe. Its basically used from leftover fats, meats and grease from other things. If making base by itself though, its usually ground country sausage browned, then add flour and brown the flour as well. Then add in milk slowly and then keep stirring it as it thickens. Depending on what meat/grease you use as the base the color will vary drastically.

[@wayneberry8703]

Hahahahahahaha, this made me laugh so much 😂. Martin, you cracked me up, old mate lol…. Great video again from you both…. Cheers 🥂 I can’t get the idea in my head of biscuits and gravy looking like that!

[@DaveJudd]

The word Biscuits means cooked twice in French, that looks like a rock cake scone crossover.

There's a great video on KZbin about the difference between scones and biscuits. Basically, they're the [not] same thing, with the main difference being eggs and sugar. Scones tend to have eggs & sugar, biscuits tend not to have eggs or sugar. So, scones are slightly denser/heavier and maybe sweeter. Biscuits are primarily butter & flour, no eggs or sugar, so they're a bit lighter, fluffier, more buttery. But they're both from basically the same family of quick breads. And there may be different varieties of "scones" that leave out sugar or eggs, and are thus more similar to what we'd call "biscuits." So, there may be **some** overlap...? But, at heart, they're **basically** the same, just with minor differences in texture/ingredients.

[@MGmirkin]

And, yeah, adding browned ground/'minced' sausage meat to make "sausage gravy" takes it up a notch. White / "country" gravy [as opposed to "brown gravy" using just meat drippings and/or a little flour to thicken it] is quite nice on its own. Goes well with mashed potatoes, or chicken-fried steak, or over biscuits. But sausage gravy is just that little extra bit better. Quite savory, meaty, and filling. Typically, I think we'd also slice the biscuits in half horizontally, and then serve them "open faced" with the inside up and sausage gravy smothering it/them on top. Can be had on its own. But can also be accompanies by hash browns, eggs, bacon or sausage links, toast, fruit, pancakes / french toast, etc. That'd be a large / full American sit-down breakfast when like eating out at a restaurant or diner, or maybe like a large weekend meal when we actually have time to cook a full breakfast, as opposed to just grabbing something quick before heading out the door... Like cereal or a bagel and cream cheese, or some fruit, or fast food on the way in to work, etc.

In Britain we brown our meat and poultry off before cooking for appearance as well. I love Asian, Indian food however I do choose tikka so there's colour on the meat. Chinese food is wonderful however the poultry meat is pale and in my humble opinion I'd prefer a bit of quick fried poultry to colour it. Maybe the reason is it would change the taste. Lol.

[@RedDawnRocker]

This country gravy has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Besides biscuits it can be used on chicken, chicken croquettes, country fried steak (aka chicken-fried steak), sausages or even scrambled eggs. My all-time favorite though is an item referred to as breakfast pizza. It's a pizza that uses the country gravy in place of the usual tomato-based pizza sauce and is topped with beakfast sausage, scrambled eggs and cheddar and mozzarella cheese. It can also include diced ham or bacon or chicken ... I've seen it with many different types of meats (sometimes all at once, sometimes just one at a time). It's one of those pizzas that tastes good either reheated or cold the next day as well.

[@dalehammers4425]

You forgot hash browns on that list of things country gravy is great on :)

[@tonytwistuk]

In America, they serve this a lot with fried chicken, Cracker Barrel, or famous for their biscuits

[@jevward5428]

OMG you mentioned the magic words Cracker Barrel I eat there nearly every day when I go to U.S.A.

[@Tmlong333]

Yep, fairly common in the southeast, but in the northwest, I’ll take an omelette, hash browns and bacon (perhaps with an English Muffin).

[@tonytwistuk]

I love cracker barrel too :)

[@kreigsr9789]

Instead of using butter replace it with bacon grease in the roux and you will lick your eyebrows trying not to miss a drop of that gravy.😅 That's how we do it in Louisiana.

[@simonbaker5972]

Good vlog. I tried them in America and didn't like them. Very dry and I thought they were there for the sake of being there.

[@danielsolomon2585]

You cook the sausage crumbled up then put flour , salt and pepper. All in the same pan that way you use the sausage grease instead of butter

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ilikeknives1000]

good try few more ingredient and yall got it as an add on though i do 2 over easy eggs on top of the biscuits and then top it with the gravy the yolk adds to the overall flavor imo

The American gravy is what we would call bechamel sauce for moussaka or lasagne with a pinch of nutmeg.

[@Angel-002]

It looked just like a basic white sauce. Once you've done a white sauce you can add parsley for parsley sauce, cheese for cheese sauce etc. Either way I can't imagine having something that's like our cheese scones with a white sauce poured over. Just doesn't appeal to me, but neither does putting steak seasoning on steak🤔🤔I think I'd be a bit like Martin where it doesn't quite compute in your brain & you can't put your finger on it🤔😂

[@dalehammers4425]

This isnt country gravy, the type of gravy used for biscuits and gravy. A huge mistake many Brits make when making biscuits and gravy is using the wrong gravy, or as you would call it sauce. White gravy and country style gravy are NOT the same thing.

[@kathryng6363]

@@dalehammers4425 That's because we don't have gravy, whatever the colour, with biscuits. Biscuits in the UK are sweet for eating with tea or coffee.

Hi Martin and Sharon, well this was different. How kind of your subscribers to send it to you. The salt and pepper shakers were nice. I liked the look of the biscuits, i would have to slice them in half and put butter on them. I didn't like the look of the gravy.
