Directions
Biscuits & Gravy & Eggs Extraordinaire,The art of making this classic southern “stick-to-your-ribs-and-leave-you-smilin’-all-day” breakfast is, unfortunately being lost to the fat-phoebic. EVERYONE should know how to make a truly great Biscuits & Gravy breakfast, if not just to see your man smile from ear to ear one Saturday morning a year (right before he has to mow the lawn 😉 ) I *have* been known to run to our local McDonalds at 6am and pick up a few of their terrific plain biscuits, on lazy days. P.S. Found an even EASIER (and maybe BETTER) biscuit recipe here on ‘Zaar ).,Man O Man….this is great!! I tried it with your “EASIER” biscuit recipe link the first time, the 2nd time had to use Grand Biscuits like Jazze22 due to me being lazy. LOL They were yummy both times! Now I need to go check out your other recipes. Thanks for posting Pellerin.,Normally, I wouldn’t try a recipe with only one review. But I wasn’t sure what could go wrong with this recipe, so I tried it out. SO GLAD I did! I have made several different sausage gravy recipes from this site, but this one is the BEST. Adding bacon drippings is the best idea ever. Thanks for a great recipe!
