We always joke about the Brits traveling the world for spices and then refusing to use them.

American biscuits are not scones. Their only similarity to scones is their appearance. American biscuits are eaten with (just to name a few things we eat them with) butter alone, or with butter and jam, or covered in sausage gravy, or even as a breakfast sandwich using a biscuit to enclose , for example, a sausage patty, a fried egg, and a slice of cheddar cheese).

Sausage gravy is a bechamel with sausage and black pepper. Usually, you use the sausage fat instead of butter to make the roux. Roux is equal parts fat and flour by weight. As I'm assuming you know, Bechamel is milk or cream mixed into the roux.

Try 'Sun Tea" You need a large clear glass container with a good lid. Pour water in it with tea bags. Put it in the hot sun for at least 4-5 hours.

Please remember, even though British people can recreate American foods in Britain (kind of) it will always be better to have an American make you your American food or give you a recipe...so however good they think it is multiply that by 10 😅❤

It's not just kids who don't know where their food cpmes from. I've heard grown adults say we don't need farms, dairys and ranches because we get our food from the grocery store. Iced tea reqires a pitcher. You don't make it by the glass.

You can get plain white gravy, pepper white gravy, sausage white gravy, or dried beef white gravy. I love them all on biscuits or English muffins. Soooo good. Our biscuits for gravy are not in any way like a scone. Biscuits are fluffy, buttery and so awesome with butter, jam, and peanut butter. Even our cinnamon raisin biscuits are not like a scone. They are still fluffy and buttery with cinnamon, raisins, and a light glaze on them.

We have brown gravy in the states but we usually have it with things such as roast or meatloaf with mashed potatoes. The sausage gravy is mainly eaten on biscuits, although it is also quite good over rice. Also what you call biscuits, we call cookies over here.

It's important to understand that American portions when eating out are meant to have leftovers to take home, that's part of why meals from restaurants tend to be so large. Also, fun fact about biscuits and gravy, it originated as survival food, we have many meals, deserts, and other foods that seem odd, but were used in times of war rations, natural disasters, or food shortages just to survive. Some say biscuits and gravy originated from the Southern Appalachia region as a cheap means of feeding lumbermill workers. Others say it originated during the revolutionary war when meat was scarce. By cooking the sausage, chopping it up, and mixing flour and black pepper into the meat and grease, you make sausage gravy, this also meant you could spread the meat across more meals. Regardless of how such a classic American dish came to be, it's been a staple dish among the poor due to the cheap ingredients, fast preparation, and because both the biscuits and the gravy can be stored for later use.

Yes, it has sausage bits and is made from the sausage drippings after it is cooked. We also brew Sun Tea. Basically, it's a gallon of water with 6-8 tea bags and left out on a sunny day for several hours. The slow brew is much better than adding boiling water. The South does things differently but it all just works.

LET'S CLEAR THIS UP: 1. Biscuits are buttery and have a fluffy texture on the inside, and a slightly crisp outside as compared to a scone. They are NOT the same thing as a scone and they do not taste the same. Have one and you'll understand! 2. We have "British" gravy as pictured in the US as well which is used for things like roast dinners, and you'll find it a lot at Christmas/Thanksgiving. 3. Saying biscuits and gravy looks like sick or vomit, is fair. It should look gross BUT taste amazing. If you eventually try some and it's gross, stop what you're doing, then go directly to the deep South. If it's still gross, you haven't gone deep enough.

From the English Dictionary, the word gravy means a sauce made with meat. It's interesting that the English believe that their gravy is the only gravy ever made. In the US, we have so many types. Beef gravy, sausage gravy, turkey gravy, chicken gravy, etc. Italian Americans call their pasta sauce gravy. They invented the word but are clueless of the meaning

I was raised in Nashville, TN, but I was raised by mom and her family who were all northerners. I am the only one in my immediate family that likes sweet tea. It's wonderful specially in the summer when it's regularly 32c -38c most days for several months and you can have 90% humidity. Biscuits and gravy are one of the few southern foods everyone in my family loves. It isn't difficult to make as long as you can get pork breakfast sausage there.

Okay, listen when you were talking about the frog's legs. It's not just adding seasoning into the breading. In the South we season every layer of food for optimal flavor. That means seasoning and marinading the frog's legs...your choice of seasoning blend in some milk or buttermilk (preferably ) if you can find it. Helps tenderize the proteins in the legs and keeps them really moist and juicy. Buttermilk works great for fried chicken as well. Same steps for optimum crispy flavorful chicken. Happy eating and Enjoy! 🤤 😋

I love you all's attitude. You guys are so open to trying new things and that's great. I know that biscuits and gravy can look off putting but it's so savory and so delicious.

❤ the reaction as always!! So here in Texas, when I was growing up, the way we made iced tea was... you put 4 tea bags in a 1 gallon glass jar with 1 gallon of water , then it is placed outside on the pourch or put on a window seal where the sun can shine on it for 3 to 4 hours. After at least 3 hours in the hot Texas sun, we then add sugar to it to make it sweet. We just taste test it until we like the right amount of sweetness. After that ,it is placed in the fridge until it's cold. When ready to serve, it's poured in a glass, and ice is added. This process makes the tea super delicious!!

Making a biscuit is simple but also difficult. Butter has to be cold and cut into the flour. It’s best with a soft wheat flour. It needs to be work together enough to hold but not over worked or it will get tough. And you have to get the fold’s correct. Then don’t roll it out to thin or it won’t rise properly. Also they need to be close so they go up. An American biscuit is sort of like the love child of a scone and a croissant. Gravy is a breakfast sausage starter. Use the grease that is cooked out and add flour to make the rue. Then whole milk and let it thicken. Also don’t skimp on the black pepper!

When you guys come over, you'll easily find Biscuits and Gravy all over Texas, but try to find a nice old school diner where they take time to do everything by hand and from scratch (no shortcuts)...no skimping on the butter...somebody's great grandmother's buttermilk Biscuit and gravy recipe type of place. Same thing goes for Grits...As Americans, we know that Grits is the easiest thing to mess up, but when it's done right...nothing like it. Grits and butter and brown sugar if you like sweet, for those who prefer savory stuff you have Shrimp and grits, eggs and grits, Grits and gravy. However, don't just eat Grits randomly from anybody...ask around...do your research! There places that do it well, but a lot of places don't get it right. Oh and, don't even bother asking for Grits if you get to New York...that my part of the world born and raised, but, trust me, it's not something they even understand.

Great video. I’m glad Kat got to see what biscuits and gravy is all about. You definitely need to make it for her. Hope get to feeling better soon, Jono.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind: First is that Southern style American biscuits do not have sugar as an ingredient so the biscuits themselves will never be sweet, they should be a savory bread. Second is that our sausage gravy is made exactly the same as a British brown gravy with 2 differences. Difference 1 is that we use milk instead of water. British brown gravy is watery because of well... water. Milk, because it has proteins, will thicken because of the proteins interaction with the flour in the rue. The second difference is instead of using the fat and drippings of a roast, we use the fat and all of the breakfast sausage not just the drippings. Also, the "lumps" in the white sausage gravy is simply chunks of sausage, not chunks of fried flour or something. That is it, that is all of the differences.

Here's the thing about sweet (iced) tea. People think you have to have it so sweet that it makes your pooter pucker. I will not drink unsweet tea but I don't like it over sweetened either. I order my tea unsweetened then sweeten it to my liking with whatever sweetener available.

Iced tea is usually a mix of orange pekoe and black pekoe tea. Use about 1 family size tea bag per quart. 3 to 4 bags for a gallon. Boil the water and let the tea steep for about 5 minutes. Add sugar to taste while the tea is still hot/warm. Most of us add a lot of sugar. Then chill it down and serve over ice. Community brand is the best, in my opinion.

The key to good sausage gravy is as you might call it the "sausage mince" never make it using sausage that you would not enjoy on it's own as it is the foundation for the flavor along with salt and pepper.

5:52 you can physically SEE the moment that boy’s life changed. Child had a revelation 😂

It has pork breakfast sausage grounded up in it a lot of people outside of America uses the wrong sausage and the gravy is easy it's just milk flour and sometimes I put butter in mine and you mix it with sausage on low heat

My family called it "milk gravy". It's good for all kinds of things: biscuits and gravy w/sausage, chipped beef and gravy on toast, and even as the sauce for casseroles. It's REALLY great on mashed potatoes too, especially with fried chicken. Also, if you can find Cavender's All-Purpose Greek seasoning, it will make your fried chicken taste really closely to KFC, except it's a little better than KFC.

every time i see this one when he says Kid: "it looks like a chopped up ferret" i think: "he knows something" or "that's a future serial killer"

No one makes this on a grill. You make the biscuits in the oven and the sausage gravy in a skillet,(frying pan). Almost nobody eats squirrel or possums anymore even a rabbit is a rarity

Biscuits and Gravy: Food of the Gods

You can make a quick biscuit using self-rising flour and heavy cream. Start with equal parts, then add a little flour at a time until it forms a dough you can roll out. Flour the top of a glass and use it for a cutter. You will want to experiment with how you like it best, but if you put them touching in a round pan you will get a nice crust. Bake at 180C for 10 to 12 minutes. For the gravy, brown what we call bulk sausage in a skillet, Humm. This one is harder to explain. If there is a lot of fat, drain some. Add a couple of tablespoons of regular flour and stir until the flour "browns." Add milk a little at a time until the gravy is the thickness you desire, stirring constantly.

From all of these videos it seems that Britain has ONE type of gravy. America has beef gravy, turkey gravy, sausage gravy and probably others. Also, to make Southern Sweet Tea, you almost keep adding sugar until it stops dissolving. The best tasting diabetes you'll ever get!

If you want good crunchy fried chicken try mixing cornstarch and flour, season as you like, and make sure the oil is hot enough. Another tip: after tossing your chicken in the flour and cornstarch mixture let it sit for maybe 10 mins to let the chicken kind of absorb some of the flour, then fry and you double fry the chicken.

Sausage Gravy is so simple to make. All you need is sausage, flour, and milk. Salt and pepper too if you wish. All you do is cook up some ground sausage in a skillet. Add some flour to soak up the grease and coat the sausage, and then you start adding in the milk and stir until it forms the consistency you want...thick or a bit more the runny. Just add more milk for more runny Gravy, add more flour to thicken it up. It's literally that simple. And regarding what Gravy is, Gravy is simply defined as a covering sauce. Salad Dressings and regular old condiments like Ketchup, Mustard, BBQ Sauce, and Mayonaisse could be considered Gravy, but they rarely are. But in general, a Gravy is made from the drippings (grease) of whatever meat you are cooking. So if you're cooking poultry, you'll get a tan-ish yellow gravy that is good on mashed potatoes and stuffing. Some people put it on vegetables, but eh? I can go without that. Chicken gravy is made with either Chicken Broth and Flour, or Chicken Drippings and Flour, or with both broth and drippings (and flour)...flour is just your thickening agent, right? Beef or Brown Gravy as my deprived British friends call it is made with Beef drippings, Beef Broth, and Flour. Sawmill (or just plain white) gravy is made the same as sausage gravy, but without the sauage chunks. In other words you just drain the sausage drippings from the skillet and add the flour to that instead of the whole pan of sausage. Sawmill gravy can be used for Mashed Potatoes, dipping sauce for fries, Chicken planks/fingers, and a covering sauce for Country Fried Steak or Chicken.

I looked up recipes for Scones last night, and I can confirm that they they are no where near the same as Buttermilk Biscuits (which is actually the full name for them). Scones are made with Bisquick Mix, which is essentially pancake/waffle mix. And then you add your baking soda and powder, sugar, and your flavoring fruits or chocolate. Buttermilk Biscuits are made with Flour, Butter, Baking Powder and Soda, Salt, and Milk or Buttermilk. That's why it's like a buttery bread when baked rather than a sweet pancake or waffle bread that is not soft or fluffy. Biscuits are used for breakfast sandwich breads, Biscuits & Gravy, and sides for certain meals, but they go really well with Fried Chicken. So well in fact that there's chicken biscuit sandwiches. Most fast food joints have a chicken biscuit sandwich on their breakfast menu. At least those that typically have fried chicken fillet sandwiches on their regular menu. KFC gives you a biscuit for most of their meals.

I've heard it said of the English, something to the effect of, "They conquered the world to gain access to spices and then refused to use them."

Sweet tea is just iced tea that is made with A LOT of sugar. Very sweet. Something that is also popular is an Arnold Palmer- named after the golfer that drinks it- it's one part iced tea mixed with one part lemonade.

Can't wait for yall to come to America so yall can try all this stuff

We make iced tea with black tea and sugar. Pure into cold water and serve over ice.

No worries about food waste. Remember the video is edited. Those boys devour everything--just not scintillating content. Jolly has a couple of series of high schoolers tasting that are so funny--kids give such pure reactions.

I love a good iced tea! In fact, I always have a variety of bottles of "Snapple" in my refrigerator. My favorite is either Peach Iced Tea, Lemon Iced Tea or Mango Iced Tea.

The coating for the chicken is 2/3 flour 1:3 corn starch which makes it crispy

Josh's wife came in second on Master Chef. She makes most of the food they feed to the high schoolers. BTW: She is Korean.

The biscuits are the hardest part to nail down. Getting the measuring precise and the right kneeding will make the difference between a decent biscuit and an exceptional one.

Cold sweetened tea is cold tea than you add sugar, South Sweet tea is sugar and tea made hot, then let the tea cool.

People will belly laugh at the idea of beans on toast in america. Especially if they mention its "canned american heinz beans". That feels like something id expect in a comedy show mocking the british.

If you want to know how flavorful our food is watch NZ Family try BBQ and other foods. We know flavor lol

Mr H and Friends have two more detailed videos on B&G. Having it in America and then making it in their home in England.

Btw, sausage gravy is mainly a Southern thing. We also do brown gravy, especially at Thanksgiving. Yeah, if y'all like flavor/seafood, my state of Louisiana is for you lol. We do food right.

Done right, biscuits and gravy is delicious!

I watched their video like 10 times. It is hilarious

Sweet tea is a famous southern beverage. The tea is brewed strong and combined with a LOT of sugar to make a kind of tea syrup. Diluted with water and served over ice.

Oh memories! Every Saturday morning we used to make Scrambled eggs, Fried potatoes with onions (another must try if you haven't had fried potatoes and onions fried together), sausage patties and biscuits and gravy. But we used to brown our flour slightly with just a touch of the sausage grease in an iron skillet before we added everything to it. I don't know why, but the slightly browned flour gave a richer flavor to the gravy than plain white flour with all of the fixings added.

When you make the frog legs do not forget to cut the muscles. Never forget the frog legs jumping out of the pot when I was little.

FYI, white gravy has flour in it.

Southern iced tea is made by boiling tea bags in water a short time. Turn it off and let it steep. Then add a good amount of sugar to a pitcher. Pour the hot tea over to melt the sugar. Stir. Then add cold water or ice water to full. Stir again. Serve over ice. It gets hot in the South, hence the iced tea. You can also add lemon or fresh mint to make it more refreshing.

White Gravy is essentially a classic Bechamel Sauce with Black Pepper instead of White Pepper and no Nutmeg. American Breakfast Sausage is pork mince seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, oregano, ground coriander and crushed red pepper. Boost flavor with MSG or spice with cayenne pepper.

Usually, Southern tea is made from orange pekoe tea. We boil the water and steep the tea bags in it then mix it while still hot with the sugar (to taste). Then chill it. Fill a glass with ice and pour the tea over it. We also have a drink made from tea with lemonade mixed together.

Jono, there is no reason you can't make biscuits and gravy over a fire outside. To me, biscuits and gravy are absolutely out of this world when cooked over a camp fire! That is one of the main breakfasts we always cook when we go camping and it is simply divine! You do have to be careful to not burn the biscuits, but if you have a tight fitting lid cast iron skillet it works really nice! You guys should try making it......they are not hard and there are plenty of videos online to watch and help you get through it all! Just be sure that the sausage is the breakfast sausage, generally make with sage......that really makes it truly the gravy that we eat when we make it.

They might not have finished the biscuits and gravy, but all of that chicken was gone. They might have been full lol. But I have seen them put food aside for later on the other videos. Peace from Central Texas 😊😊

My grandpa always said, "Take what you want, but eat what you take".

To this day Jolly still haven't tried the way biscuits are eaten MOST of the time. Yes, they are served as breakfast with sausage gravy, but far more often they are served at dinners where you have turkey, a beef or pork tenderloin roast, prime rib, etc. where they are simply split, buttered, and then used to sop up the extra brown gravy (whether beef, pork, turkey what have you) on your plate. And while I like biscuits and gravy in the southern sense, to me nothing beats a biscuit oozing butter as you use it to shovel some beef gravy in to your gullet.

Here in South Carolina (aka "The South") we like a little tea with our sugar. For some reason, in the northern states, if you order "Sweet Tea" they bring you unsweetened tea and some sugar. Apparently, no one told them that things dissolve much better in hot liquid, so the sugar is added while the tea is hot THAN iced. It becomes "supersaturated in sugar this way. If it is too sweet for your taste, you can mix it with unsweet tea to lessen the sweetness but not the tea (adding water would dilute the tea), or you can add Lemon-aid (aka "Arnold Palmer")

Sweet Tea: steep bags (black tea) in boiling water to taste. Add hot liquid to sugar. Stir. Then chill over ice or in refrigerator. Add very small amount of lemon to taste in glass. Sweet tea will sour after about 2 days and should be made fresh. About 1.5 cups of sugar to 1 gallon. About 1.36kg per 3.73 liters. Sugar needs to dissolve into the liquid or it will more or less just stay a solid and its like just spooning it from bag into your mouth.

We Love how the Graham Family Reacts. Keep The videos coming. Come see us soon.

Make tea by the gallon here. 4 family size tea bags, steeped in hot water. Put 1 cup of sugar in your pitcher, pour hot tea over and stir until sugar disolved. Add water to fill to 1 gallon. Chill, then pour over ice, squeeze of lemon and sprig of mint if desired. (Never, ever use instant tea)

Shuga is often used in bisquettes in the South, at least in the Deep South Mississippi, shuga is used in Cornbread down here too, we make it sweet and cake-like, I’ve been told by many that mine is the best cornbread they’ve ever eaten, quite the honor to hear that down here, cornbread is a staple..I often share the recipe, bc why not share the joy! Now, as for the tea to be a true Southern sweet tea, I recommend using dark tea, we use a brand called “Constant Comment” (it’s an orange spiced black tea) trust me it delicious! We like to use our coffee pot to run through the hot water over the layered tea bags,, we use (12) bags of the tea each time we make tea, which is 2-3 time per week in our home…we layer the tea bags inside the coffee filter, let the hot water run over the bags into the carafe/pot below, once it’s run through the process, we then pour the hot tea out of the carafe and onto a glass pitcher w/a cup of Shuga waiting within, stirring well to combine shuga into the hot tea. We like to leave the tea bags in the tea to continue steeping till tea is mostly cool, squeeze and remove the bags, then add cold water till the pitcher is full, stir once more -place and leave in the frig…when serving we always add ice, and I like to dollop a bit of Orange Juice and/or a sliced of orange to my tea glass for an added tasteful bit of pizazz -it’s really refreshing in the mornings (brunch) or on a hot summers day! But the kicker for southern tea is the strength and the cup of white granulated Shuga (aka) Sugar. It’s sweet and dark and rich-nothing like it anywhere else in the Country:-)

Yea southern sweet tea is just boiled and steeped black tea with sugar and water to dilute it. My family has always done 1/2 gallon of boiled black tea 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2 cup of sugar! Letting the tea chill in the fridge overnight will make it sweeter and has always been my favorite way of drinking it

Southern sweet tea is made by steeping the tea in boiling water. Then take sugar and dissolve it in the hot tea. Finish with water! Then when it has cooled put in fridge . Take a whole glass of ice and pour cooled tea over it! Delicious!

Beans and toast, OMG, no way! I am from the South, not the deep south, but we know how to season our food! I don't drink the sweet tea; we ask for half & half when ordering tea. Half sweetened and half unsweetened.

12:29 Iced tea is brewed black tea with sugar (to taste, some like more, some like less). You can also add other flavors,like peach or lemon, or other flavors. Tea with lemonade is called an Arnold Palmer.

There is a special way to slow-brew true Southern iced tea. It's not just making a pot of hot tea and putting ice and sugar in it.

If you google recipes for frog legs, you’ll find lots of ideas.

Steep your tea bags. Squeeze them out. While still hot, mix in 2 cups of sugar (for 1 gallon), pour in container with ice

As an American, I absolutely love biscuits. But I cannot understand why Europeans think they are sweet. I don't taste any sweetness to American biscuits...

Normally we break the biscuit in half and pour the gravy over it.

I’m born and raised American and squirrel and dumplings is unheard of to me and sounds revolting. I don’t blame you for finding it terrifying. Let it be known that is very uncommon.

Glad you feeling better, good to have you back

Woke up and watched this, probably gonna go get biscuits and gravy for brunch now 😂😂😂😂😂 soooo good

A tip to make fried chicken more crunchy is to add a little bit of corn starch to the flour mixture. It depends on how much chicken you fry as to how much corn starch to add, so that is something you can mess around with. Also, don't put chicken that is really cold, like it just came out of the refrigerator in the fryer, because it tends to get soggy because it does take a little longer to cook since it's cold.

You will find recipes online, but the white sausage gravy is just chopped sausage, milk, flour and salt/pepper. I've never measured the ingredients. I just keep adding each until it looks right.

Ice tea is simple to make. Fill a liter glass bottle with water, add 3-4 black tea bags and let sit on the counter or fridge over night. Pour into a glass over ice. You can drink it as is, or add sugar or honey for sweet tea or add lemon or fruit juice for a flavored tea.

biscuits and gravy is literally the cousin of beans on toast... they're basically the same thing... a savory topping on top of "hardened" bread

Mr. Graham, if you have not seen them, there are do it yourself smokers you can make from KZfaq videos! i've seen metal barrels and drums and other metal cans used with really good results !!!!

Southern Sweet Tea is a staple in the south. To do it right takes 2 days. You have to let the tea sit in sunlight . You can use real sugar or honey. After the tea gets dark and you can no longer see the sweetener your pour it over ice . They actually make tea bag’s just for Sweet Tea if you are in a hurry. Most southern food takes time to produce. As far as making real BBQ. You have to have a Smoker or at the very least a Crockpot. That enables you to cook the meat low and slow.. It’s the slow cooking that breaks down the normally tough cuts of meat.

Proper iced tea has the sugar added while the tea is hot. Just add ice, lemon is optional.

You don't want to put ice into hot tea to make iced tea. That will just dilute the tea and melt the ice. Either brew the tea and chill it in the fridge or cold brew the tea. You can find out how to cold brew tea with a simple google search. :)

Iced tea is not made with Black tea. Usually it's just a plain old Lipton tea. And iced tea with no sugar is equally as good.

These kids were lucky to get the chopped up ferret. Tastes much better than possum 🐀

Ahhhhh!!! Excited for this! 12:33 boil water add 1:2 ratio water to tea bags (black tea of ur choice) u normally would, so 6-8oz use 2bags, put three times as much sugar as u would think into a pitcher/container, add hot tea, stir until sugar is dissolved, add 1:1 ice to the tea.. enjoy! (Only keep refrigerated 24 hours for freshness, but u will drink it all before that)..

Just a Texan here to let you know that the Terry Black's BBQ video you mentioned watching of "Jolly's" was a serving for a large family. Most BBQ is typically sold by the pound. So can get quite expensive quickly if you want to try everything out for a family of 4. So if you get to Texas I'd recommend if you want to try some of everything get smaller amounts and share between you. That way you can leave there full and happy 😄 And a great go to for comfort food is biscuits and gravy. Simply delicious. But. It should be made by a true southerner in America for your first time eating it. ❤ from the Great State of Texas 🇺🇸

You have to add the sugar to the tea while you’re brewing it. If you wait until it’s cold the sugar won’t dissolve properly.

Biscuits and gravy is awesome! Morning comfort food. The USA is a huge country but almost everyone loves biscuits and gravy, not just in the south.

Biscuits and quail gravy is one of my favorites!

I grew up in south Texas on this exact ty[e of biscuits and gravy. And yes, the gray either contains sausage or beef. But NOTHING can beat home-made gravy! Good gravy is made with milk, the fat from the meat (which gives it great flavor!), pepper and salt, with flour of course. And, being Texan, it isn't complete without hot sauce. This made me hungry!

Good Southern sweet tea cannot be beat if it is done right

We don’t only have white gravy!! With biscuits it normally is But we also have the brownish gravy as well which we have with mashed potatoes a lot

LOL - You said: "Big Livestock, like...Quail..." I was confused - LOL Nice to see you back again. BTW

You have to watch the video of American high schoolers trying British food. It’s hilarious.

Ice tea is more watered down than a hot tea. Not watered to the point of tasteless, but lighter.

I make hamburger gravy more often than sausage gravy. More often than not I serve hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes. Heavy on the pepper. I most often use (rough metric conversion here) 500g ground hamburger browned, then to the drippings add 3 spoons of flour ( 6 tablespoons to a cup, 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart. Quart is just under a liter) stirring till lightly browned (like a French roux) Then add 500 ml of milk. (1 tablespoon of flour to 1 cup milk is a thin gravy. 3:1 is very thick. When chilled it will be almost like runny Jello or whipped cream. Might have to flick the spoon to get it all off ). I like my white gravy on the saltier side.
