A southern favorite

[953 nut 58,382]

 

There’s nothing quite like a flaky, buttermilk biscuit paired with jam, honey, maple syrup, or butter to send your taste buds into overdrive. What better way to celebrate a long-standing Southern tradition than by commemorating National Buttermilk Biscuit Day on May 14? These flakey, carby treats emerged in the pre-Civil War era as an inexpensive addition to meals. When people realized these robust bread products absorbed the gravy on their plates better than plain bread, biscuits soared in popularity and the version that we all know and love — the buttermilk biscuit — was born. From celebrating at your favorite restaurant to whipping up a gourmet batch at home, there are ample ways one can pay homage to this Southern staple.

I’m from the north, but I still enjoy me a biscuit! I wonder though, why don’t we pronounce it like the round tuit?  Bisc-uit…

Sausage gravy is great, but my chipped venison gravy on biscuits is WOW.

Biscuits and gravy

A Southern delicacy 

At home anywhere 

 

A Limerick 

 

There once was guy in the Navy

Who ate only biscuits and gravy 

He sailed the oceans blue

With a cook who only made stew

So he fed him to the locker of Davey

Down here Biscuits and Gravy are a staple, but you better know how to make both right, like grandma did. Both my grandmas when fried chicken was dinner, they made cat heads.

Biscuits in the smoker.   Hardly a camping trip passes by without baking biscuits over a bed of coals. A biscuit, with a hint of smoke, smothered in sausage gravy along with a fried egg and sliced garden fresh tomatoes is a good way to start a day.  If any biscuits are left over, they are fried in a cast iron skillet with a little butter and apple butter slathered on.
