Southern Bacon Gravy For Biscuits Food

OLD TIME KENTUCKY BACON MILK GRAVY FOR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes. Be careful, the roux burns easily. Stir in salt and black pepper.
• Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended. Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more. Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

SOUTHERN BACON GRAVY (FOR BISCUITS)

Steps:

• Cook bacon in large skillet until crispy. Remove cooked bacon to paper towels to absorb grease. When cool, crumble bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
• Do NOT clean skillet. Leave 2 Tablespoons bacon grease in skillet. Discard the rest.
• In separate bowl or container, whisk together milk, flour, salt and pepper, until lump-free. Pour the milk/flour mixture into skillet with remaining bacon grease. Add crumbled bacon pieces. Heat mixture on medium (whisking/stirring constantly) until it comes to a boil; reduce heat a bit, and continue cooking and stirring, until gravy has thickened (5-6 minutes). Give it a taste test.
• Add additional salt and pepper, to taste (I ALWAYS add more). Once gravy has thickened, add 1-2 Tablespoons cold butter. Stir until butter is melted, incorporated into gravy, and mixture is heated through.
• Slice warm biscuits in half horizontally. Place biscuit halves onto serving plate. Spoon hot gravy over each half. Serve and enjoy!

SOUTHERN BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients. Knead in the butter.
• Add buttermilk and knead on a floured surface. Make sure you only knead it just enough to get the dough together. Do it gently so the flour doesn't develop gluten which will cause your biscuits to be tough.
• Flatten the dough with the ball of your
• fist. Use a glass to cut out your bisquits. Don't make them too tall or the outside may get crusty while the inside is still too doughy.
• Cook them in a 350 degree oven on a greased cookie sheet and then get started on the gravy straight off.
• Fry up the sausage until it's thoroughly cooked. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon.
• Don't drain the grease. You'll need it to make the roux. You should have about 2 tablespoons of rendered fat. Add the butter and melt it. Then add the flour a little at a time over medium heat, constantly whisking.
• Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now start adding the cold milk a little at a time, whisking incessantly.
• Toward the end of the milk add the sausage back inches When it's nice and thickened up add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the biscuits in half, pour the gravy over them, and enjoy! We're talking breakfast heaven here!
