I guess you could do onions.

"Sausage gravy is a traditional Southern breakfast dish in the United States.[1] After loose pork sausage is cooked in a pan and removed, a roux is formed by browning flour in the residual fat. Milk and seasonings, such as salt and pepper, are added to create a moderately thick gravy, to which the cooked sausage is added."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage_gravy

So mostly, it's really about having as they say "moderately thick gravy". The salt is something you just sort of have, but in my experience the pepper is really doing the seasoning work, more. You want it a bit peppery at least.

You often have a fairly similar sort of gravy for country fried steak, too, and both are delicious.

In a bowl, mix a cup of AP flour with about a tsp of instant yeast or baking powder and a bit of salt. I prefer yeast because baking powder leaves a taste I don't enjoy as much.
Cut in 3-4tbsp of ice cold lard (I prefer lard, but you can use butter or shortening if you'd like) until the consistency of wet sand.
Add just enough water to make a dough, then roll out, cut and bake.

Not necessarily.
Just as biscuits can vary significantly region to region (for example, my ex' family's from NC and those biscuits were just about identical to what I know of as scones IE crumbly, made with buttermilk, soda-leavened and slightly sweet) so, too, can scones.

Irish and Cornish/Devonshire scones are the closest to those biscuits made with a biscuit cutter. Irish ones are identical, which makes some sense, really, while Cornish ones are admittedly a little sweet.

All I'm trying to get across is that with the kajillion regional varieties of scones and biscuits available on each side of the pond, there's gotta be more than a few that have considerable overlap.

Still, you'd be right in saying that scones are generally sweetened while southern biscuits generally aren't.

I've done it and it is probably sacrilege because it is 'Italian', but it makes a pretty good sausage and gravy.

B&G takes less time than some other breakfast options if you prep it ahead of time. Biscuits are great to have on hand for a variety of dishes so I will often have some frozen or 'fresh' within the past few days in the fridge so they keep longer. As long as they are in an air tight container they won't dry out and turn in to hockey pucks. It isn't the same as making them that morning but it is darn close and with a lot less work.

Then, just make the gravy... brown sausage, remove, roux, milk, season, reduce. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to make sausage gravy once you have 'figured it out'. There are some pretty good 'southern style' frozen biscuits available too if using flour is too daunting at first. Gravy is literally one of the easiest things to make if you don't 'break' the roux. If you make it too thick, add liquid. If it is too thin, let it reduce. It is almost impossible to fuck up if you have cooked before.

I am from Italy and dated an American southern nigress (a fit one who rocked a bald head, not one of those disgustingly obese nigresses). We often dreamt up ways to blend our two culinary backgrounds. One was similar to what you describe, but we used tomato juice in place of milk and served it atop toasted panuozzo or other bake-at-home types of Italian bread rather than biscuits.

We also came up with biscuits and Americarbonara, using American breakfast sausage, grated dry cheddar and clarified butter in place of bacon/guanciale/pancetta, parmigiano and olive oil, but keeping the technique otherwise idential.

It was fun while it lasted.

That sounds really good. Have you tried adding cream to the tomato/sausage sauce? In that way it would be more savory like a milk gravy but still acidic like an Italian dish. I have never heard them called anything besides 'tomato cream sauce' but they are typically served with spaghetti or rigatoni and fresh basil. You could literally serve it over unsweetened biscuits, pasta, toast, or really any carb and it would still be just as delicious as the last.

Now I want to go try to make that...

And no: it doesn't sound like something I would do, really. Doesn't sound bad, though, just the idea of tomatoes and milk/cream seems off to me, likely because it's not done in my part of Italy at all.

Just like more typical B&G, ours was made with a roux.

The ex did tell me that there's a "tomato gravy" from coastal NC they eat over biscuits or rice and that does indeed have dairy in it. I think it's made with crushed tomatoes in place of sausage but still uses roux and milk. I've never had it, so I can't say for sure.

This is wrong. The key is to cook the sausage and leave it in, coating the sausage with flour and then letting the flour brown just a little bit. You can also put the black pepper in at this stage.

Then you put the milk in, which will wash the lightly browned sausagey flour into the gravy. You can also use evaporated milk if you want it to be full-on Deep South Country and fucking awesome.

posting to show my love of B&G.

i've recently gotten into making my own buttermilk biscuits, and i'll never go back to the pillsbury can again. after several trials, i've learned a few things:

1) Two words: White Lily. i use the self rising variety of this brand of flour, found at most supermarkets, and my biscuits are light and tender as you could ever ask for.

2) Chill the flour/butter mix for a few minutes in the freezer while you prep your pan and melt butter to brush on top of your unbaked biscuits. this gives the tiny pieces of butter time to firm back up after they've been smooshed apart by your fingers.

3) fold your dough into thirds, like a letter, roll out the dough, and repeat the process a few more times to achieve flaky layered biscuits.

4) Flour the rim of a drinking glass, and press down on the dough, not rotating the glass, to cut your biscuits. place them on a pan with the sides touching. having the biscuits touching on the pan, along with not rotating the biscuit cutter, helps the biscuits rise.

i hope these tips help at least one person improve their buttermilk biscuits. they really seem to get better and easier to make each time i throw a batch together. i'd love to hear any other anons tips on how to make the best biscuits.

When I was an impoverished classroom aide, this was a staple for me. Box of Bisquick, stolen school milks, chub of Jimmy Dean sausage, and I've got meals for a couple days.

Scrambled eggs? Now that don't make no sense. Over easy, I need runny egg yolk in my gravy.
