Biscuits and gravy is a signature breakfast or brunch dish in Southern US culture. This dish typically consists of fluffy biscuits and a thick, creamy white gravy made from meat drippings, usually sausage or bacon. The gravy is often thickened with milk or cream, giving it a rich, savory flavor, distinctly Southern in character.
The origins of biscuits and gravy trace back to the early settlers of the Southern United States. With limited ingredients available, people made the most of simple ingredients to create delicious meals. The biscuits themselves are relatively simple, made with flour, butter, and milk, baked until fluffy and light. The gravy utilized leftover meat drippings, enriched with milk or cream, and thickened into a luscious sauce to be paired with the biscuits.
Over time, the preparation methods and flavor profiles of biscuits and gravy have evolved, but their core simplicity, rusticity, and deliciousness remain. Today, it's an integral part of Southern US culture, a staple breakfast or brunch dish in countless homes. Many Southern restaurants feature this dish, making it a classic choice for experiencing Southern cuisine. It also reflects the thrifty, resourceful nature of Southern people, who were adept at stretching ingredients. In many Southern families, making biscuits and gravy is a tradition, a culinary activity that family members participate in together.
Biscuits and gravy frequently appear in Southern US literature and films as a cultural icon, representing the lives and traditions of Southern people.
