I need a good recipe for Southern biscuit and gravy?

Answer 1

IF you want to add a little more flavor to the gravy, add a little bit of rubbed sage and garlic powder. I use the following recipe for biscuits because they are simple to make.
2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter(room temp)
1 1/2 cup's milk
Combine dry ingredients in bowl and toss with fork til blended. Rub butter in flour with fingers until it disappears into flour. Add milk and mix til lump free. Drop by tablespoonful onto baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes or until tops are golden brown . 400 degree oven.
* If you add 2 tablespoons of sugar to this recipe, you can use biscuits for shortcakes.

Answer 2

This is the easiest and best recipe that I have found

use 1package Bob Evans Sausage.
Crumble into pan and brown until done. Don't drain as this sausage isn't greasy at all and you want the flavor for the little amount that's there.
Coat the cooked sausage with enough flour to completely coat it.
Add milk a little over 1/2 way up the pan.
Add salt and a generous amount of pepper.
Cook on med-high, stirring continuously until at desired thickness.

I can't make homemade biscuits but the best ones that I have found are the Grands Home style biscuits.

Well i used to wake up to this every weekend i went to my Grandma's house she would always make it for my grandfather who was off a Native american reservation.

Fry one pound of bacon set the bacon on the side
continue to warm the bacon grease add enough flour to make a paste brown 2-3 minutes then wisk in milk to make gravy. simmer for 5-10 min add onion powder garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. For the meat we used chipped beef gave it the best flavor much better than sausage. Serve over fresh biscuts
