The Best Southern Biscuits and Gravy!

milk

all purpose flour

lb bacon

salt and pepper

Make the biscuits (either homemade or according to package directions).

Begin cooking the bacon in a cast iron skillet on medium heat.

Mix the  flour and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl with a fork. Try and smooth out all of the lumps in the flour. Set aside. Measure out the whole milk and set aside. 

Once the bacon is done cooking, remove it from the skillet to a plate and set aside. Keep all of the grease inside the pan. My 1 lb of bacon rendered about 2/3 cup of grease.

Keep the skillet on medium heat. Slowly add in the flour to the grease in the pan, begin stirring immediately with a whisk or a wooden spoon, making sure the flour and the grease is combined. Once fully incorporated, begin slowly adding the milk and stirring.

Continue to stir the milk and flour mixture until fully combined, making sure there are NO lumps in the mixture. Seriously, DON&#039;T STOP STIRRING! (Lol)

Keep stirring until it begins to thicken and you see bubbles popping up, indicating it&#039;s done. Take IMMEDIATELY off of the heat once you see the bubbles begin to pop. This should take anywhere from 3-5 minutes. 

The gravy mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over the biscuits. Enjoy! 

Add this simple onion gravy recipe to your repertoire. It's the perfect accompaniment to sausages and roasts with the deep flavours of beef stock, red wine and herbs

Easy onion gravy

butter

olive oil

bay leaf

thyme

tsp sugar

tbsp flour

red wine

tsp red wine vinegar

beef stock (or vegetable stock)

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the bay leaf and thyme and cook for a min to infuse the flavours of the herbs. Add the onions and coat well in the butter and oil, sprinkle over the sugar and a big pinch of salt and slowly cook the onions down for 45-50 mins, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelised.

Add the flour and stir well, coating all of the onions. Cook for a min then add the wine and vinegar, turn up the heat and reduce by half, so about 2 mins, whisking a little to ensure the flour doesn’t lump at all. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and cook for 6-8 mins, until the gravy is thick enough to coat the back of spoon. If you cook it a bit too much and it gets too thick, add a splash of water. Season well and serve.
