Date Posted:03/02/2023 12:42 AMCopy HTML Blue, I need some help to understand biscuits and gravy . I make biscuits , sometimes called tea biscuits or baking powder biscuits . What is the gravy ? how is it made ? I make gravy , brown gravy with roast , steak any kind of meat , turkey, chicken, flour and water , salt & pepper . The gravy on the biscuits looks almost white , what is it made from ? I've never had it , just don't look good to me . Lol , must be a song here , I'll have to look ....

Re:Blue - Biscuit and gravy ? Date Posted:03/02/2023 2:27 AMCopy HTML biscuits are the baking powder kind... flour, baking powder, (baking soda added if you are using buttermilk) salt, cut your shortning in like you would for pie crust and milk or buttermilk ... some Europian countries call cookies, donuts or Lord only knows what "biscuits" ... now the gravy is white ... you can have plain milk gravy, but most like sausage gravy ... brown your loose breakfast ( 1/2 lb) sausage and when that is done add about a 1/3 cup flour, keep stiring that till the flour cooks a bit ... you dont have to get the flour brown, but just cook it for a minute or so to get any lumps out. I add about a cup of water first and get it all loosend up from the skillet then add about a cup or a little more of milk ( whole milk, this is not the time for low % milk, I have even used Carnation evap milk) ... cook it till it thickens ... if too thick add more milk ...add salt and pepper to taste, serve over your fresh hot biscuits ...

Re:Blue - Biscuit and gravy ? Date Posted:03/02/2023 12:47 PMCopy HTML I never made gravy with sausage , but milk , that's different , milk in the gravy that makes it white .I heard so many times someone saying they were having biscuits and gravy , sometimes showing a picture . The gravy was always white or almost white and I wondered how it was made , never thought it would be milk in it . It would make it creamy , sounds like it might be good . Thanks for all the info , you even found a song Blue, good job ..
