Yeah, English is my only language and I was thinking wtf is biscuits and gravy? How does that go together in any way?
It's actually freaking delicious and if you ever visit the USA you should definitely try it at some local family-owned restaurant where they make it from scratch.
Give your fascists the Mussolini treatment and I may consider visiting
Or just make it yourself. The biscuits are dirt simple, butter, flour, baking powder, and just enough water to hold it together. Gravy is just a white flour gravy with lots of pepper. Ingredients are sausage with grease, flour, milk, and pepper.
Season to taste.
Wonderful de-escalation lol.
Well it was pretty unnecessary when talking about food lol
I mean, yes, biscuits have simple ingredients but I would say getting them right is actually pretty difficult (I'm Southern and it took me ages and the help of my elders to get a good biscuit technique down).
There are some good YouTube videos on the subject though. I find the key is COLD hands and ice water!
Hell, even a white gravy with no sausage is still good if made right with a good fat as the base.
Good butter will start a sawmill gravy just fine. Bacon grease is pretty excellent as well. Add criminal amounts of black pepper. Best gravy for chicken fried steak.
UK biscuit is American cookie. American biscuit is more like UK scone. We'll discuss muffins later.
