HALP! I was planning on making sausage biscuits and gravy for lunch today. I just realized I don't have any flour to make roux.

Would substituting bread crumbs or corn muffin mix work? Or should I just cook the sausage as patties and eat them w/ biscuits and no gravy?

apparently cornstarch is super rare in Britain at least.

OP mighta forgot that its used as a thickener though.

Your better off going without the gravy or finding some flour because gravy is king.

You're aware they call cookies biscuits in Britain right?

I've never once heard an English person say they've eaten this food... it's a Southern State yank thing.

Yeah, no corn starch. Amerifart, so nothing is open today.

Most people forget they have this in the pantry... I always do. That's why I have half a dozen boxes of it.

Cornstarch in britain is called Cornflour, for reasons I have to admit are pretty dumb.

It's not rare, you can buy it anywhere - we're just not that used to cooking with it.

wasn't thinking of semantics I was just coming up with scenarios why OP wouldn't have corn starch and Europe was the first thing that came to mind.

Go to a gas station. At least 1 is bound to have some flour.

Thanskgiving has literally nothing to do with Christianity.

I could make the argument that neither does Christmas but thats grasping at straws.

how are you able to make biscuits without flour?

>> No.7113144

>>7112951
Bread crumbs could work.

You'd have to unbake and unknead it first though.

Thanksgiving is absolutely a Christian holiday. It can be celebrated as a secular holiday but it's at its core a Christian holiday.

>Americans commonly trace the Thanksgiving holiday to a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation, where the settlers held a harvest feast after a successful growing season. Autumn or early winter feasts continued sporadically in later years, first as an impromptu religious observance, and later as a civil tradition.

> President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.
