Biscuits & Gravy

Hey everyone, a friend got me thinking about biscuits and gravy, I will not tell you her name but her initials are Lori...

This is a quick recipe that has been used by my family for many many generations... straight from the hills of Kentucky. This is not the healthy, it is not good for your diet, and well too much too often will get your cardiologists a new kitchen, or ferrari; but mmm mmm good. Its fast so make it after the biscuits and have all ingredients next to the skillet.

fry up some bacon (you can also use ham or sausage, my fav is bacon)

milk

water

flour

salt

whisk

I use a cast iron skillet, I suggest you don't use a non-stick pan though, you can use a stainless or even a pot if you wish, I am not here to judge so carry on with the utensil of choice. Set up large glass of water, milk jug, and flour next to you.

I use a few tablespoons of the grease, while the pan is on and the grease is hot, add a few tablespoons of flour (a little less than the grease) to the grease and whisk a few times. Now let it sit for a little, you will smell it brown, then stir again for a few strokes. keep doing this till it is darker brown, don't be afraid of burning it, you will immediately know.

Once the color is dark, add some milk I am guessing maybe a cup or cup and a half, now this will steam up and make all kinds of noise and havoc, and will thicken up like crazy... stir this in it should be super thick. This is when I add in the water slowly whisking as I go, till you get to the consistency you like. Add salt to taste this will really bring out the flavor then add in your bacon.

mmmmmm!

Okay so now I will make some and post the video!
