Biscuits and Gravy
Biscuits and gravy are a breakfast staple of the South, dating back to post-revolutionary war when food supply was short. The gravy is dairy based, made from the drippings of pork sausage, seasoned with black pepper. The sausage gravy drenches flaky buttermilk biscuits, making this the ultimate breakfast comfort food.
