i am an old Texas grandpa that has been helping in/running my own household kitchen for a bit over 70 years. below is my Biscuit recipe and method for making Cream Gravy. the Biscuits are not the world's greatest, but they're damn good. they are also easy to make, use common ingredients that can be found in most stores around the world, and are difficult to "make wrong". these bad boys will find a place on most folk's fridges if they're given a chance. so get into the kitchen. now you can make your own Biscuits and Gravy. Papa Grim's Badass Biscuits 2-1/2 c flour (cake flour preferred because the low protein content makes for more tender Biscuits) 1 T baking powder (NOT baking soda) 1/4 t baking soda (NOT baking powder) 1/2 t salt (can be cut in half) 1/3 c liquid fat (veg oil, melted lard, melted butter, or Drippins, etc) 3/4 c milk (slightly sour milk is OK) preheat oven to 450f blend all dry ingredients blend all wet ingredients mix wet into dry only enough to bring them together. DO NOT OVERMIX! drop fat golf balls with 2 spoons, or roll & cut (personally, i prefer drop Biscuits) bake 10 to 12 minutes ===== METRIC UNITS : 600 ml flour 15 ml baking powder 1.5 ml baking soda 3 ml salt 80 ml liquid fat 180 ml milk oven at 230c ===== FOR GRAVY : throw some seasoned loose pork breakfast sausage into a pan (for more Gravy, add a little extra Drippins/oil to the pan) cook it until it's about 2/3 done and break it into small bite-sized pieces slowly add flour to the pan until it coats all the meat bits and the pan is starting to think about drying up stir constantly until the flour starts losing it's "raw" smell and starts getting a light nutty aroma turn the heat down to LOW any oil+flour in the pan should be really thick, breaking up when stirred, but liquid when left alone start stirring constantly and begin adding cream and/or sweet milk until the sausage bits are just barely covered keep stirring keep stirring keep stirring some more as the Gravy starts to thicken, adjust the salt and pepper to your liking when you think that maybe you've added too much pepper, give it 4 more grinds keep stirring when the Gravy is nearly as thick as you want it, take it off the heat the Gravy will thicken just a bit more after it's off the stove ===== OPTIONS : during the cooking process, Gravy can be seasoned/augmented as you like it with things such as; red pepper flakes, garlic, chopped onion or onion powder, nutmeg, minced bacon, mace, chives or chopped green onion (for color), 5-spice powder... just use your imagination and do what makes you and yours happy. try it served with a couple of fried eggs over all. (a runny or creamy yolk that you can bust makes it real nice.) try serving with sides of stewed fruit (i like apples with a bit of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg), sweet Grits (topped with butter, cream, and sugar), sliced raw tomatoes, or just about any other sweet or savory thing you might like with. this meal pairs nice with a BIG cup of black coffee, or strong breakfast tea. finish off the meal with a fat slab of cornbread smeared with butter and a bit of honey, sorghum, or molasses. top the Biscuits and Gravy with a little bit of grated cheese, but don't overdo it (use whatever cheese you like). Biscuits and Gravy is always better when eaten with friends and loved ones. ===== A NOTE ABOUT "DRIPPINS" : Drippins is the fat left in the pan after frying bacon or certain ham steaks. this fat is a prized kitchen ingredient that is used often in Southern kitchens. if it is used frequently, the jar of Drippins is kept near the stove for easy access. otherwise it is stored in the refrigerator for longer life. Drippins can be used (sparingly) like butter, to flavor cooked items, or as a condiment for things such as Grits, cooked veg, soups, stews, burgers, etc.

In the USA, we have jelly, jam, and preserves which can all be eaten on biscuits. They taste similar to each other, but their name depends on the technique by which they are made. Jelly is made with fruit juice and sugar. Jelly has no seeds or fruit pulp in it. Jam is made with pureed fruit and sugar. It contains seeds and fruit pulp. Preserves are a thicker version of jam and are made containing whole chunks of fruit or entire berries. The white gravy that we use is a variation on a French sauce made with cream or milk. For breakfast, we'll frequently add in cooked ground pork sausage. However, we use the gravy for other foods as well, such as fried meats, as part of our mid-day lunch or evening dinner, but without including the ground sausage. Biscuits, although normally eaten for breakfast, can be used to accompany lunch or dinner. Most Southern versions of biscuits are made without sugar although may have a sweet taste from the addition of fats, such as butter and/or buttermilk. There are also savory variations of biscuits, such as: garlic and/or cheese biscuits. There are also sweet variations of biscuits, such as: cinnamon, raisin, or blueberry biscuits. Many people enjoy biscuits with just butter or with honey and butter. When eating biscuits with gravy, they are generally halved splitting the tops from the bottoms and pouring the gravy on them. In the video, they didn't halve them before pouring the gravy which is not the typical method.

In US terminology (which is by no means universally applied), 'jam' uses the whole fruit, while 'jelly' uses just the juice to produce a gelatinous subtance. 'Preserves' uses the whole fruit, but does not crush it down to homogeneity as jam does; though technically, jams and jellies are also 'preserves'.

Biscuits go with anything. You can have meat filled biscuits(like ham, egg, sausage, etc). Butter is good. Jam, jelly, perseveres, curd, marmalades, butters(like apple butter) etc are great. Peanut butter(with or without honey or syrup) is good. Honey is good. Gravies are great. Plain is good. With other things that have juices to mop up is good. Biscuits are just all around great and very verstitle. You can also add things to the biscuit batter. Blueberry biscuits are nice, for example. Throw some lemon curd in there and yum. America has variety of everything. While yall have one gravy(brown gravy here), we have so many. You choose what gravy depending on what its going on. Chocolate gravy on biscuits is good though it doesn't sound like it would be. But you wouldn't put that on mashed potatoes. Youd use a brown gravy, mushroom gravy, or the like. Turkey gravy is good for some things and tomato gravy for other things. Iced tea is pretty easy to make but you have to adjust to your taste. It is not the same as doing English hot tea and adding sugar over ice. There are tons of videos showing how to make it so it might be a good video to do for your channel. Also, speaking of tea and variety, we have lots of variety in teas, too. So pick your recipe carefully. Sun tea takes a while to make. Flavored teas don't make authentic southern sweet tea. So pick one from some really southern sounding grandma that uses a simple syrup. Personally, I eyeball my sugar levels but I pour plenty of sugar in the bottom of my pitcher. Then I put 3 large or 6 small black tea bags(Lipton or Lousiann) in water and bring to a boil. I turn off the eye and let sit for 15 minutes(I broke too many bags by just boiling and nobody wants gritty tea). Then i remove the bags and pour my hot hot tea in my pitcher over the sugar. Stir until dissolved. Then i add cold water until I get to the level I need. Stir again and stick in the fridge. Pour over ice. Sip. But there are lots of ways of doing it. And they can be adjusted to taste by putting more or less sugar.

Americans eat biscuits as sandwiches, so add an egg and some cheese for a basic breakfast to go, or add some patty breakfast sausage, ham and or bacon. I like to add cheese, egg, sausage and hashbrowns with some strawberry jam. You can throw a chicken fried chicken breast or tenders in the biscuit and some cheese or you can get fancier with it with some gravy on top. You can throw some cinnamon butter on the biscuit and then some vanilla icing for a salty sweet cinnamon roll. They are very versatile. You can use them as a side with chilli and or beans, with soups, especially milk based soups.

Most people make their own biscuits and gravy, but in America we do have store bought as well. We have canned or frozen biscuits (the frozen ones are better) that you can buy from the store and bake at home. And there's canned sausage gravy as well. But homemade is MUCH better. I know Brits get confused about it being called gravy. We have the brown gravy that y'all have too. We call that beef or turkey gravy (depending on what animal drippings are used to make it). We just call more sauces "gravy" than you do, lol. But really, the best way I've found to describe Sausage gravy to foreigners is by explaining that it's a bechamel sauce but made with sausage drippings as the fat instead of butter. And it has crumbled sausage in it.

We have jelly and jam in the USA They're both sweet fruit spreads but jelly doesn't have pieces of fruit in it it's just smooth. Jam has pieces of fruit and it's a different consistency from jelly. They go through different processes. And neither of them is Jell-O which is a jiggly concoction of almost clear something that we use for desserts and sometimes fruit salads. Notice I don't even know what's in jello except some kind of gelatin powder with sweetener , that you mix with hot water and then you put it in the refrigerator and it becomes solid and jiggly. And biscuits are not just for jam and jelly. I like to bake an egg and cheese biscuit with crispy bacon and a slice of fresh tomato on it and eat that as a sandwich. Over here bread doesn't just have one purpose add any kind of bread can be made into any type of sandwich. We are not traditionalists. We love to try new things. No one will ever say to you here oh you can't put that on there. They're more likely to say oh I need to try that next time Is that good?

We have enjoyed biscuits with Jam, Jelly, and Preserves, we have all three of them. Jelly is made with strained fruit juice, there are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. American Biscuits are savory, lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sausage gravy and biscuits do go great together though. The thing is, it is unheard of to imagine biscuits and gravy for those who are British and Americans can't imagine beans on toast they become aware of it through their travels. I love their honest responses in these videos.

You can make biscuits n gravy easy, anywhere. Get a pack of peppermill gravy. (Its the dry ingredients, premixes. Mostly flour, salt, pepper, starch.) Easily shipped if its not local. Cook breakfast sausage in a pan. (American style, for the right flavor) Remove the sausage. Make the gravy in the same pan, leaving half the grease in, just follow the packet directions. Then, add the crumbled sausage back in. Thats the bog-standard. The big mac of sausage gravy. Its fool-proof, and a good introduction.

Gravy is literally defined as a "covering sauce." It's created with a roux, usually flour, milk, broth, oil, or grease from whatever meat you're cooking up. Y'all's brown gravy is just Beef Gravy. And we have that when we make beef dishes. But you can make gravy out of just about anything. For Thanksgiving, people make Turkey Gravy which comes out a dark yellow, and is quite good. I prefer it second to white Sawmill/Sausage gravy. Sawmill gravity is just sausage gravy without the sausage chunks. But you still use the sausage grease to flavor it. Sawmill Gravy is used for Country Fried Steak/Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and even as a dipping sauce for Chicken strips/planks. That said, I just think the problem with British food is that y'all have just settled for your age old dishes and aren't in the habit of experimenting with your food. Not using very many if any at all spices is also a problem. The amount of seasoning (spices) restaurants use to fix the food is mindblowing at times. I mean they'll pre-prepare this big vat of seasoning mix that they'll later use for the main food, right? They'll just dump all these spices in a big bowl of some sort, and then stir it up, and then either dump it all into the pot or cooking food or dry coat the food in it in the bowl. But the most common spices are Ginger powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cummin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, thine, and a few others. But if you Google "Spice Rack starter kit" or something to that effect, it'll list the top 25 spices that American cooks/chefs use on a regular basis to give their food the great myriad of flavors it had. I don't know why Europe doesn't tend to season their food much. I had a best friend who had Dutch ancestry... last name was Van Ormer. And whenever he'd fix some food for us, it was always BLAND AF. I mean he didn't even use salt or pepper. But that's the way he liked it.

Helpful hint. If you try sweet Iced tea at home or at a restaurant, start with unsweet tea and sweeten it to your liking. I always get my tea unsweet and add the amount of sweetener I like.

Southern sausage gravy is just a bechamel cream sauce flavored with sausage or ham, salt and pepper and the optional splash of hot sauce. I've even used spam in a pinch.

As Americans we just can't fathom that no where else seems to know about Iced/Sweet Tea. It's literally just Tea that is allowed to brew or seap more and served Cold. Sweet Tea is made somewhat differently than just regular Iced Tea where you sweeten it by itself. Sweet Tea is brewed as a concentrate with loads of sugar. And then you thin it out afterwards with additional water. I just prefer to get unsweetened Tea and add my own artificial sweetener to it. I think my rule of thumb was 2 pinks per glass of Ice Tea. Maybe 3...I can't quite remember as it's been a hot minute since I've had any. Unsweetened Tea is probably more refreshing when sweetened with artifical sweeteners, as it's not so syrupy tasting.

4:19 Biscuits and jam/jelly is common in the USA. Jelly is not flavoured gelatin (we call that jello), but is made from just the juice. Jam would be made with the pulp. Preserves uses whole bits for fruit, and marmalade is with citrus rinds. We also eat biscuits with honey or cream or butter, or even a combination.

I like biscuits halved with butter on each side and jam or jelly...but just butter is also good. Jam in America is 'jam'. Jam and jelly are similar but they are not the same thing - there is a slight difference. Jelly is made from the juice of the fruit with gelatin added as a thickener, and has no pulp in it. Types of jelly are grape jelly and apple jelly. Jam however contains bits of fruit, like strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries, hence strawberry jam, blackberry jam, etc.

The only way my father helped in the kitchen -- it was his job to split and butter the biscuits when they came out of the oven. My mom used to make biscuits and corned beef gravy for dinner when she was in a hurry. It's made the same way, but with a can of corned beef instead of the sausage. She may have actually invented that -- I've never run across it anywhere else. It's one of my comfort foods.

Actually we have different grades of “jelly”. Jelly is the thinnest and usually the cheapest. Next is “jam” which is considered medium grade and thicker. Top grade is “preserves” which will also contain bits of the fruit. ( I only buy preserves.) None of these are “jello” which is something entirely different. We also eat beans on toast.

In the US, we have jelly, jams, preserves, fruit butters, and marmalades. They are all, basically the same with the exception, of how the fruit is processed, anywhere from strained juice, to large chunks of fruit, in the final product.

The reason the gravy is white is because it's made with milk. The base is a rue (the fat can be either grease from sausage or butter) with milk added for liquid instead of broth or water. Add to that the sausage pieces and you have sausage gravy. And just so you know, southern iced tea is VERY sweet!

5:42 I am in north east US, and we very often have takeout dinners through fire departments and legions and veterans outposts that include vegetables in the chicken and gravy. And very often there are mashed potatoes in the middle with biscuits on the edges and the gravy and vegetables over the whole thing. It’s not the same sausage gravy, it’s a chicken gravy, which is a wider gravy made from chicken stock or drippings.

There are quite a few ways to make biscuits too. There's the classic way of rubbing butter into flour to which you've added your leavening and salt and then add buttermilk to form your dough. Others make it by using Self Rising flour (flour with your leaning already added to it) and heavy cream (usually 2C of flour to 1.25C of cream). The best biscuits though, and a mistake I've seen others make, is they need to be baked RIGHT next to each other. The best biscuits are like good friends. They need each other for support in order to grow! Our biscuit gravy can be made a few ways too. It's usually made with sausage fat drippings or bacon drippings. Usually 1/4C of fat that you've added 1/4C of flour into and mixed long enough to get rid of the flour taste (about 5 minutes) then add 2 cups of milk slowly whisking to fully incorporate the milk and avoid lumps then allowed to heat until thick with plenty of black pepper added and the sausage bits added back in at the end. I believe white gravy made with bacon is called country gravy but I could be wrong! You'll find that there are as many recipes for biscuits and gravy as there are families in the south. Each as unique and special as the last! I encourage you to look up some recipes if you're interested and cook! You might find something new to fall in love with! Thank you for the videos and have a great day bud!

Brown gravy/light gravy is made with meat drippings/fat and stock with some flour. Dark brown gravy uses broth like beef broth bullion. And of course here in the U.S. mostle in the Southeastern region like Georgia mainly Georgia I think have giblet gravy. Brown gravy that has turkey innards/giblet's which always comes with the turkey when you buy at the store. Actually I just saw something else about gravy. Both brown and dark use the same ingredients it just with dark brown it darkens the longer you cook it or so I saw. You can buy mix packets of either kind which are usually in the spice section of our grocery stores. You can buy white gravy packets as well if you don't want to spend extra time making it from scratch.

We have biscuits and gravy for sure - but I also have biscuits and jelly or jam (yes, we have both jelly and jam!!) with butter spread on it first. Jelly is smooth and Jam has chunks of the fruit in it - like strawberries or grapes or berries . . we have blueberry jam, blackberry jam etc... Jam means "chunky" here and jelly is strained no lumps . . . that's all! Hot biscuits are also delicious with some butter and honey! Delicious! Best of course is the sausage gravy!! Do you really only have brown gravy? I assume that is a beef stock gravy - we also have chicken gravy (which is a beige bit yellow color), we have pork gravy, which is a brown color, we have a red gravy which is broth and coffee made in a rue....we have all kinds of gravy! It's strange you all only have one - do you put beef gravy on chicken? Or beef gravy on pork? I couldn't drink ice tea without ice! UGH

Biscuits aren't generally served absolutely plain... but they're often served SIMPLY, with butter, honey, or jam. You just split it open around the waist and spread your choice of condiment on the exposed inner layer. In that fashion, they're a good pairing with a larger breakfast, comparable to toast or an English muffin/crumpet.
