I discovered another thing as a child, being that my dad and his family was from Appalachia. Now, biscuits and gravy was a staple for me too because my southern mama was the cook. But my "other grandma" was from Appalachia and they make a thing called "chocolate gravy". Biscuits are the same, but chocolate gravy for a kid was like being ushered straight into heaven. Supposedly "po' folk" food, but if so them fancy rich people are missing out. And I think it's mostly just cocoa powder, sugar, and water or something. I only know my mama taught my wife at some point and she makes it every once in a while and it's just far too good to be real.

As a native to the southern USA, I watched you cook everything closely, you did good, glad you liked our little breakfast. Keep that recipe in the pocket for friends and family. The biscuits are multi purpose for breakfast, and the gravy, if you use instead of sausage, butter or just bacon grease, and make just a smooth gravy it goes great on mashed potatoes and fried chicken, and chicken fried streak.

This makes me so happy. A couple notes on your biscuit making: The enemy of biscuits is stretched gluten, so use a flour made from soft winter wheat if available. Basically you want the opposite of what you'd want in a flour you'd use for making pizza. Also, never use a rolling pin to work the dough. Press it down with your hands, then fold. Repeat exactly five times. If you want your biscuits uniform, use a cold plate. Just anything to avoid stretching.

As a southerner one of the things we can't explain is why it's called "soul food". It can't be explained and has to be experienced. It's always great to see someone when they experience it and fully understand what that means.

Being a Southerner (born and raised in Mississippi), biscuits and gravy have always been staples. Although I will admit that I have never been able to make biscuits like yours, I *will be trying your recipe. You may have taught this old dog a new trick! Glad you enjoyed them!

Can I just say it is pure pleasure, as a southerner, to watch this dish go even further south and be so enjoyed. Those biscuits you baked up would make any southerner happy. Good job!

As a southerner in the US who has been making these and eating these since I was old enough to consume solid food, GOOD JOB making that. A lot, well, MOST of the vids I see where someone not from the Southern US that tries to make this dish will almost always do it wrong, and as a person from the aria where this dish originated from, let me tell you, it is easy to see the mistakes that are made. You sir did your research, and those biscuits would have made my grandmother proud. The gravy, spot on. You really did not need the cream, milk alone is fine, but that sir is the real deal. Good Job!

Thank you Lyle. See, not every American food is a crazy idea. This is definitely a staple in my family. Yumyum

I truly enjoyed that smile after the first bite. You had me smiling all the way through !!! So glad you liked our biscuits and sausage gravy. We have a traditional big breakfast Christmas morning after we open presents. My son-in-law always makes his great sausage gravy to go with the biscuits and bacon, eggs and hash browns. Will be here for your Home Free reactions, I never miss a single one !!

I'm convinced the reason most people outside the southern US don't like breakfast gravy is because they've never had it made right. If your gravy is white, you made it wrong. If your sausage isn't browned to at least partially crispy, you made it wrong. Fry up bacon, sausage, or fried chicken, reserve 2-3 tablespoons of the fry oil. Lower the heat on the fry oil so it doesn't burn but keep it hot. Sprinkle in the flour and stir it around while you fry off the moisture in the flour, the roux should get to at least a chestnut color. Add the milk a bit at a time and stir it in until it's a liquid and not a paste, then pour in the rest while you stir. Once the gravy begins to thicken, salt and pepper to taste, and I lean heavy on the freshly ground black pepper. The best gravy is made with hot (spicy) breakfast sausage. I prefer to fry them round and make sure they have a crust on them like a good steak. Then use the oil the sausage was fried in to make the gravy.

If you feel the need for a bit more of a challenge on your next batch, my Grandmother always mixed everything directly on the kitchen counter WITHOUT ANY BOWLS🤣🤣🤣

As a former WH server yea I’ll put in on that tab 😂🎉❤

My favorite dish. Native Texan here. First of all, the biscuits looked perfect. Next, you obviously had the perfect ratio of flour to milk because the gravy thickened up beautifully. I must admit my mouth was watering.

They were delicious.

That was funny. After his 1st bite, the look on his face said everything there was to say. He doesn't need to say a word. LOL

So simple, but so good; the kind of meal that may not be the healthiest, but it sure does feed your soul. This has been one of my favorite breakfasts for longer than I can remember. It's so nice seeing someone else enjoy it for the first time- especially since you clearly loved it!

Maybe it's a regional thing, but where I grew up, biscuits were made by folding them as little as possible after adding all the ingredients. We didn't go for flaky layers but pillowy soft buttery goodness. Still, those biscuits did look pretty dang good!

See though that's the nifty trick to know...don't fold for pillowy biscuits, fold for flaky ones! If you leave the biscuit rolled out, mix butter, sugar and cinnamon together you can spread that on the rolled out biscuit dough rolling like a pinwheel. Slice and bake for amazing cinnamon rolls...topping can be any variation that you like and brown sugar for more sticky bun type thing. Cooking fundamentals can be so fun!

Never made gravy with butter, we always used oil, but I'm sure the butter was good!

I hate the biscuits that taste like cake. The buttery layered biscuits are a million times tastier.

I'm from Texas, and you did an excellent job making Biscuits and Gravy! I would have been proud to sit down and eat that dish! Yall have a good one!!

Watching you try the biscuits n gravy I could see the southern hidden inside you coming out as that meal touched your soul!

I have to say how impressed I am with your biscuits. I've seen so many non-American's make biscuits that don't even resemble biscuits. It's all in the layers... and the butter. You did such a good job & I have faith that what you made is authentic. I can tell by the look on your face. Lol! Loved this video (and the music).

Usually beginners overwork the biscuit dough.

Being from Alabama, let me just say I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed this as much as we of the Southern states do. Have a great day!! ❤❤❤

First exposure to it for me was when I was in basic training in Ft. Benning. Now I know it probably wasn't as good as a GOOD B&G, but holy hell was it amazing to me.

Black Warrior River near Lock 5. Spent a month and a half there several years ago. I wish I could remember where it was but not too far from Moundsville there is a place that had some of the best barbecue I have ever had in my life. That says a lot considering I am a Texan.

Someone so simple but satisfying! Some people call it poor mans food lol they have no idea it's so good!

You did an amazing job on those biscuits and gravy!! Southern Mama's are so proud of you!!

My grandma and mom and all my aunties could make amazing biscuits. Mine turn out like hockey pucks. I'm so jealous that your first try came out so beautifully.

Sounds like you might be overworking the dough.

Your reaction was pretty much the same as the reaction I've seen from people who really haven't tasted homemade biscuits and gravy. My Mom was from Oklahoma and I was raised on her Southern style cooking. She made biscuits and gravy every weekend. Her biscuits were so good - unlike any I ever had before. She would make gravy from pretty much any meat drippings - fried ham, bacon, sausage patties - even pork chops. I've had friends visit from England, Iowa, New Hampshire, etc... plus a brother-in-law and sister-in-law from families who didn't cook this way. They all fell in love with Mom's biscuits and gravy. My friend from England said it was the best food she had on her trip to the US.

Those biscuits were the definition of perfection. My momma would high five you. Great gravy too! Looks like what I grew up on man. Excellent!

It makes my heart dance when I see people from other places enjoying our foods. Biscuits & gravy is still a staple in our meals. LOVE IT! Great job, friend.!

My mom would make this when I was young. Some times she wouldn't wouldn't have sausage. She would use a spoonful or two of bacon drippings as the fat to thicken the gravy. In the summer when hot peppers were ripening, in our garden, she would dice a few of them and cook them with the gravy. Thin sliced dried beef also is top notch choice. P.S. Strawberry jam on a biscuit is out of this world!!!

Biscuits and Gravy is an American tradition almost as old as America itself. It's a meal every class of person has eaten too, but was especially common among the poor as it was a very cheap meal to make and remained so through most of America' s history. My grandparents used to talk about eating it on the regular growing up in the depression, and even my father talks about it and SOS - a sort of variation on it - as he grew up not so wealthy himself. I grew up eating it because my dad would make it all the time lol, so it's a comfort food for me. It made me so happy to see you enjoy it as much as I always do. Cheers!

I don't think they could've been done better justice. As far as I can tell, you nailed it, and it makes a WORLD of difference in the final result. There ain't much out there that beats a plate of B&G when it comes to turning a frown upside down

The only thing I can say he didn't do quite right I think, is I don't think he toasted the flour enough for the roux but not a huge deal he could have messed up way worse as I have seen many others do

Those biscuits are superb with jelly/jam/preserves.

Indiana guy here. Midwesterners love biscuits and gravy too! These looked proper, great job mate!😊

The joy on your face at the first bite, makes me so happy, I have watched this video a few times now over the past few months. Thank you for the content.

Watching that smile appear after the first bite was everything biscuits and gravy were meant for. It's a hug full of love that also fills your stomach, ultimate comfort. Great job!

Hell Yea! You done a great Job! Nothing better than Biscuits and Gravy!

Love your reaction to a great southern staple. I was not raised in the south but my husband was, he introduced me to biscuits and gravy. I grew up having white or sausage gravy with rice, which is still a big comfort food for me.

😆I have NO idea why or how this showed up on my feed, but I appreciate your appreciation for our fine Southern Comfort Food, Sir. Looked like you did a fantastic job and I'd gladly have a plate of your biscuits and gravy any day😁👍

So funny watching him plate and trying not to use "too much" gravy. "You'll be back," says I.😊

YES!!! Now that’s biscuits and gravy!!! It looks like you know your way around a kitchen!! So glad you got to try the real thing!!! ❤❤
