      It’s actually freaking delicious and if you ever visit the USA you should definitely try it at some local family-owned restaurant where they make it from scratch.

          Or just make it yourself. The biscuits are dirt simple, butter, flour, baking powder, and just enough water to hold it together. Gravy is just a white flour gravy with lots of pepper. Ingredients are sausage with grease, flour, milk, and pepper.

          Season to taste.

            I mean, yes, biscuits have simple ingredients but I would say getting them right is actually pretty difficult (I’m Southern and it took me ages and the help of my elders to get a good biscuit technique down).

            There are some good YouTube videos on the subject though. I find the key is COLD hands and ice water!

            Hell, even a white gravy with no sausage is still good if made right with a good fat as the base.

              Good butter will start a sawmill gravy just fine. Bacon grease is pretty excellent as well. Add criminal amounts of black pepper. Best gravy for chicken fried steak.

      UK biscuit is American cookie. American biscuit is more like UK scone. We’ll discuss muffins later.
