Biscuits and Gravy, plus (lots of pics)

cmcadams · Sep 24, 2007

Yes, this is q talk... it's Sausage gravy made with a fatty! Sausage gravy just found out what it's going to be when it grows up... Fatty gravy!

Biscuits are great, and really simple, and much better than canned... recipe at
http://pinchmysalt.com/2007/09/18/how-to-make-the-best-buttermilk-biscuits-from-scratch/

If you haven't made either... do it this weekend! There's more info on my blog, but here are most of the pics.

You start by making a non-seasoned fatty from country sausage, then:

And the biscuits:

And the results:

That looks great, Curt! Nice job....

I really love the 'step-by-step' pictures. Wish I had the planning and patience to do that kind of thing. You're a good teacher.

Thanks, Matt... now if I can only get more on the cook's kitchen! (working on it this week, I promise).

Tim, breakfast was yesterday.

And my wife thinks I'm nuts, having lights set up in the kitchen, working around a tripod, etc... But I think the photos are getting better. Now I just need a better camera!!!

I just have on thing to say, Curt...

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

:-D

That looks soooo good! Did you add any additional fat to the fatty in the pan? How about a thickener or some sort? flour? and did you use whole milk?

I happen to have a raw fatty in the fridge and I am going to fire up the Performer for some pork chops this evening. I think I can find room for a fatty in the kettle

It won't be the same as in the smoker but I'll bet it will still be pretty good.

cmcadams · Sep 24, 2007

Ron, I didn't add more fat; it didn't need it, in my opinion. I like that there wasn't too much grease, but enough to get the flour browned and not stick in the skillet.

I used whole milk... It's rich enough without being half and half, though that would be very good, or a mix of the two. The recipe's on my blog, but I did use flour, about 2-3 tbsp. you can add a bit of sage, too, though I like the smoke to shine through a bit more; the sage competes a bit.

the biscuits are very simple, and so much better than store-bought.

Curt, I have always wondered about using a fattie for making gravy - one question - is there enough fat left to render out from the fattie to make a good roux?
Thanks - L-M

===================
Edit
Ron - you and I are thinking along the same lines....
Curt - saw your answe to Ron - Thanks

cmcadams · Sep 24, 2007

NICE...Drooling mod

Greendriver · Sep 24, 2007

plenty bbq enough for me and it wouldn't matter if it wasn't, I'd still like to have a plate or three.

Pork Chop · Sep 24, 2007

Yum Yum I might toss a egg or two on top and call it a day.

cmcadams · Sep 24, 2007

LM, there's enough fat for me... Not a lot, but enough to not stick and to soak up the flour when it's browning.

I am not going to let my wife see those pictures, she loves B&G
PS I do to. Tasty looking

bbqjoe · Sep 24, 2007

Another outstanding recipe for the file/database.

(my eye is drawn repeatedly to those waterspots on the outside of that pan. :biggrin: )

peculiarmike · Sep 24, 2007
