THIS is a biscuit

We always have both

B & G

I love breakfast and this is a difficult decision for sure. I think I'm leaning towards bacon and eggs.

@gametime and @Jumper_Dad either of you guys have a recipe or some pointers? I love sausage gravy but I've never made it myself, and I'm not sure I've ever had homemade. This thread definitely makes me want to try it out.

Which does your youngster prefer?

 

Pancakes... :lol2:

I can't make it...my wife takes oil from cooking bacon or tenderloin and heats it, she then adds some flour and stirs the crap out of it until it's light brown. Adds some milk while continuing to stir then some salt and pepper.

 

I've watched her over 100 times and tried it once...mine was horrible. So I'm pretty sure there is some magic involved that I know nothing about.

 

Good luck

I don't have a recipe. Have been messing with my own creation for a few years and just know the level on the pot I use to get the thickness just right. I do fry the spicy sausage first and then add 3/4 cup of flower to build a bit of a rue and coat the meat. From there it goes from the skillet to the pot and gets covered with milk and a little heavy cream. Add some strained flour from there so it isn't lumpy, plenty of pepper and stir regularly for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer so it can thicken with a few more stirs along the way. I like a little smoked paprika added with the pepper as well. Far from an exact science, but comes out perfect every time...

All 3, thanks for making me feel fat Randy. This is what I order any time I go out for breakfast.

This is a hard thread to read when you missed breakfast this morning.

The Hardees in Maysville could close its doors at 11AM and probably turn a better profit than it does now. They sell biscuits and gravy like hotcakes (pun intended).

 

I never eat a non-breakfast meal there.

It's biscuits and gravy. Now, you pair the bacon with pancakes or waffles, and I have a tough time choosing.

For sure makes it better.

 

We always have 1% milk in house, but not as good for gravy as whole milk or cream.

A hunting buddy used to make it from scratch at deer camp. Loved it! Never did fully see what he put in it, but the best I've had.

Hopefully someone is frying some taters to go with those biscuits and gravy.
