LMAO at “it’s not biscuits or gravy but I don’t know what it is”. That’s brilliant. Normally biscuits with sausage gravy don’t have cheese in them. Def try adding cooked ground sausage in the gravy…makes all the difference. Lots of us expats in Florida and looks like we’re all enjoying the Butlers ❤
There has been a slight miscommunication. While those ARE biscuits, they are NOT the biscuits we use when making "Biscuits and Gravy." The ones we use are plain - no garlic, no herb, no cheese. I'd recommend trying again, using just plain biscuits, and most definitely making the sausage gravy to go with. Also, since it is most often a side dish, maybe have it with a bit of scramble egg and a couple strips of bacon. You won't have to pretend to like it, I promise!
I'm born and raised in the USA - never had biscuits and gravy until about 5 years ago. Never had an interest having been from the North but my DIL made and, of course, I gave it a go. Love it - absolutely delicious! Big major differences from your preparation is we use plain flaky biscuits sliced and sausage gravy. Highly recommend that. Great show - thank you, as always.
Me and the wife are new to this channel and we think you both are fantastic. The first video we came across was the benidorm and have been hooked. I see your comment on the haters forget them keep being yourselves normal down to earth folks. Cheers guys 👍🫶
I had these once whilst in America. I was expecting the same as you. I wasn’t keen personally but that was so kind of the people to send them to you It’s always good to taste new things. I love the bbq food in Memphis Oh my goodness all I can say is they must have giant chickens over there because the wings were huge. Thanks for sharing this video. I always love watching you two. 👍
Biscuits and Gravy is a Breakfast item, its very popular, My wife has biscuits and gravy often when we got out for breakfast here in Oregon, she just has a small order of those but its also available with eggs and sausage or bacon as a full breakfast, The name biscuits and gravy really throws you off, American terms are quite different. American Biscuits are very much like fluffy scones, shes never had cheese in hers, the gravy she has is a white gravy its got sausage meat in it, that adds to the flavor, She will often eat the bottom half of the biscuit with the gravy and save the top half to have with butter and blackberry jam. My wifes adventurous, I'm a bacon and egg man, boy do I miss English sausage and bacon. Thanks for the review we enjoyed it and thought it came out great.
You mentioned they're like dumplings Sharon, if you make plain scones and put some herbs im them, then put them over cooked mince and vegetables instead of putting mash over, it's called mince cobbler and is absolutely delicious, one of my favourite meals. I hope you try it.
Yeah, and this they made is a white gravy, but not a country gravy. Still good, but not quite the same thing. Also, not quite the right biscuits for biscuits and gravy, but Red Lobster biscuits are delicious.
In America we don't usually use Red Lobster biscuits for breakfast, they are too sweet and the garlic doesn't go well with the gravy.. The biscuits that we use for breakfast are usually buttermilk biscuits and the gravy is a sausage gravy. It's wonderful 😊 The Red Lobster biscuits are served with dinner..
That was something very different, it does make you wonder what it compares to with ours for sure. Very kind of the people that sent you the lovely box of goodies.
There is nothing else in the world that compares with biscuits and gravy really, its quite unique. And thats not me saying its better (though imho it is), thats just saying there is nothing else similar really.
Adding the sausage and the grease from the sausage really improves the flavor. Biscuits by themselves, play the part of a roll. They are great for absorbing all those wonderful juices and sauces that would just go to waste on your plate. You can also replace your morning toast with biscuits. They go great with butter and jam but I would say honey is my favorite.
You need to cook the butter and flour mix for a few mins to cook the flour, otherwise the sauce/gravy just tastes of uncooked flour. I think the Yanks have sausage gravy, which is basically fried sausage meat then you add the butter, flour and milk.
We eat them with our eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage, grits, fried potatoes (hash browns), and sliced tomatoes, maybe some cantaloupe slices or honeydew melon... and whatever else you like. Now THAT'S a proper American breakfast!
I've had biscuits and gravy and sometimes the gravy doesn't have much of a taste, but usually it's super delicious. I've never made any myself but there is some hit and miss depending on who makes it. When the gravy is right it's fantastic. There's two different types of biscuits as well and you can have chunks of sausage in the gravy. I'm hungry now.
Hey Sharon and Martin great video again thanks . We left you a drink at the Ragged Apron last Sunday if ya didn't get I give them a nudge just a little thanks from us for all ur efforts whilst we was on our jollys down here xx❤
My gran always used lard or bacon grease and water. Never put cheese in my biscuits. That was out there lol...grew up around hill people here in mo USA. You all did great though for a first time. Love your show❤
I absolutely laughed at this! 😂It was so honest and yet so off base. I loved it. Pull up a UA-cam vid and make ur own biscuits. That Gravy is what we call a milk gravy. Not made with sausage or bacon fat just milk flour and butter. And It takes quite a bit of salt but your foundation was there!
I thought American biscuits were like Uk Scones, Crumpets would be really soggy with the “gravy”. I agree on the sausage having watched a few biscuits and gravy videos
No they are not like crumpets. Biscuits are more like scones but not so dry & crumbly. Cornbread muffins are like gritty fairy cakes. Biscuits, grits ( a bit like semolina) & gravy for br
No, biscuits in the US are nothing like crumpets. Biscuits in the US are like scones but just aren’t the same density. Biscuits are saltier than a scone.
Loved this video. How kind of our friends across the pond to send you a food parcel. Very interesting to see what other folk eat! Loved Mickey & Minnie too ❤️🇬🇧
When my sons were in school if we were running late I would drive threw Braums and get them Biscuits and Sausage Gravy to go. Its a Southern thing for sure. (Braum's is an American chain of ice cream parlors and fast food restaurants. Based in Oklahoma City, Braum's was founded in 1968 by William Henry "Bill" Braum in Oklahoma City. The company operates over 300 restaurants in 5 states, primarily in the Southern United States, namely the West South ) . Thanks for sharing
Biscuits and Sausage gravy is Country wide. I've never seen biscuits and gravy without sausage mixed in. Without the sausage, the gravy is rather bland.
@@brians48now Biscuits and Sausage Gravy originated in the South. Although the concept was brought over by the Scottish. It used to be called Sawmill Gravy because the Sawmill workers in Appalachia ate it.Haha that's a little Gravy History.
@@Eyesofthebeholder214 That might be true, I don't know but like I said, it's not a "Southern thing". That implies that it can be found primarily in the South. That's just not true.
The scone is usually plain and served with leftover gravy from last night. My favorite gravy is Pan Gravy, which is a veloute made with leftover steak gravy. Chicken gravy is in second place.
It’s actually really tasty when you put sausage in the gravy. I suppose it’s like most Americans not wanting to eat black pudding or haggis though. I like it all.
Hi from florida. Glad you enjoyed a different flavour. The gravy here they put pieces of sausage in the gravy. The biscuits from the Red lobster 🦞 restaurants taste so much better, and I eat them just dry , the ones we sent you are much better when they are hot , as for the gravy I can’t stand it 😂. I’m shocked how quick they got to you though, but your right they will be the most expensive ones in History 😂. Hope you enjoy Micky and mini 😂
I’m not trying to be mean but the biscuits you were sent are not breakfast biscuits. They are biscuits for eating at dinner time with meat and potatoes. Breakfast biscuits do not have garlic or cheese in them. Also the gravy needs to have sausage in it and the gravy needs to be made with the sausage drippings as it’s base. That’s true biscuits and gravy here in the USA. Please have another go at it with the right biscuits recipe and sausage gravy recipe. You did well with what you were sent but they’re not the right biscuits for breakfast nor was it the right gravy for breakfast.
The Cheddar Bay Bisquits we eat a lot of times with fried fish. The White gravy we a lot of time put cooked crumbled sausage in that and have it over toast or bisquits. Another time we have had the WHite gravy over what we call chicken fried steak in the south..
Yes I think you just need to cook flour and butter a bit longer I can imagine it would be nice with a couple of Lincolnshire sausages chopped up and mixed in .thanks for the video love watching you both.
I’m not sure what you guys are eating, but please give it another go! Biscuits and gravy done right are awesome. They are easy enough to make homemade and you should!
Americans call this biscuits and gravy but us Londoners would call it cheese scones with white sauce! Maybe cheese sauce would have gone better? Give me a sweet scone anytime with clotted cream and jam 😋😋😋😋😋😋 x
This wasnt really biscuits and gravy though. This was basically dinner biscuits and white gravy. Real biscuits and gravy are a buttermilk biscuit and country style gravy. Both are totally different than what they had here. The biscuits they made, white delicious, arent meant for biscuits and gravy, but more of a garlic bread replacement. Also, they made a simple white gravy which is radically different than a country style gravy. I would assume all the cheese and garlic radically altered the flavor away from what biscuits and gravy tastes like.
These biscuits usually go with seafood meal, also most gravy is made from the leavings from sausage, or fried chicken in a skillet. I just use butter,not a gravy person. Real biscuits are just flour, butter and milk, taste great with jams or preserves. There are 2 types of cornbread/ muffins. Jiffy is yellow and is sweet, the other is a white cornbrad/muffin it's not sweet.
Yea, I was like Sharon, I didn't need the gravy. I used to love Red Lobster! I used to like biscuits with supper - how about chucking a load of cheese in the gravy? I used to live in Great Lakes... Good fun you trying these foreign classics . More cheese - You can put bangers in the gravy...
In America we usually don’t eat the gravy so plain. There are many things you can add to the gravy. Those biscuits are not for gravy. We split the plain biscuit and pour the gravy over. If you come to the southern part of America please try the sausage gravy with biscuits.
The biscuits are from red lobster restaurant, served as your bread. The gravy is so much better with crumbled breakfast, not the ones that are patties or links. We use Bob Evans sausage that comes in a roll, as you cook it you crumble it up. After cooking the sausage it's important not to drain the dripping, use them or bacon to start the roux.. They are o e of my favorite breakfast but only like once month lol
@@JanetBrown-px2jn The ironic part, is that these guys themselves still havent actually had biscuits and gravy. These arent the biscuits you use for it, and they made a plain white gravy, not country gravy.
We had biscuits and gravy as well as sausages at breakfast in Sante Fe, New Mexico, and I'm still pondering! Something outside of our UK 'Taste Zone' perhaps? x
@lancewilliams4847 Yuck is a word that comes to mind. Neither cream of mushroom or chicken soup is appropriate for B&G. I wouldn't eat your recipe. I've lived in USA for long enough to know that you are not describing B&G at all. I don't even know what you are describing.
In Britain we brown our meat and poultry off before cooking for appearance as well. I love Asian, Indian food however I do choose tikka so there's colour on the meat. Chinese food is wonderful however the poultry meat is pale and in my humble opinion I'd prefer a bit of quick fried poultry to colour it. Maybe the reason is it would change the taste. Lol.
Over here we have several kinds of "bisquits" Baking Powder Bisquits or Buttermilk Bisquits, Raised Bread Bisquits, you probably call dinner rolls. Corn Bread. and others. The gravy should be salty and peppery. Add crumbled sausage, or ground beef, or dried chipped beef. Make it very savory. Put an over easy egg on top and some hashbrowns.
Just got my chefree air fryer did a whole chicken and roast potatoes came out really great and got the discount thanks for your review of the air fryer keep up the great work
Hi Paul My Chefree delivered yesterday. Very impressed with the quality and there is plenty of room in the baskets. My dishes fit and some liners i got from Amazon. Hope Sharon and Martin will show us how to cook a chicken in the Chefree so we know the settings, etc. Thanks Eileen
@E T thanks for your email Eileen the chicken I got had the cooking time for a air fryer on it can't remember what it was but you can go by the time on the chicken for a normal oven just keep an eye on it I hope this has helped paul
good try few more ingredient and yall got it as an add on though i do 2 over easy eggs on top of the biscuits and then top it with the gravy the yolk adds to the overall flavor imo
When I went to Florida I made some UK brown gravy and I invited a friend of my son who didn't know what gravy was. He was only about 8 years old. When I put the gravy on his dinner, he asked me what it was lol. When he ate it he was raving about it, ran home to tell his mom that he had gravy with his dinner lol ... He loved it. Those biscuits look different, I didn't see them in Florida though. I'm trying my best to watch your backlog of videos but it's taking me ages lolol 😂😂😂❤❤❤
We do have the same gravy's as the UK here as well, we simply added one to the mix in country gravy is all. Brown gravy is used quite often here in the States, it simply serves a different purpose than country gravy.
@@dalehammers4425 where are you based? They don't know what gravy is in Florida and don't have chip shops either... We also have Staffordshire oatcakes here but you don't have them in the USA 😀
If it had suet in it, wouldn't that make them more like a dumpling rather than a scone? Like Sharon said about putting them on top of a casserole or stew maybe? Some are saying you need ground sausage meat in the white sauce, but I don't think even that would tempt me. White sauce to me is for making parsley/cheese/bread sauces etc not putting over a biscuit/scone/dumpling. Maybe I'm too fussy🤔😂
These definitely remind me of suet dumplings that go on the top of a stew especially if you crisp the top of them for the last ten minutes of cooking so they’re soft in the middle and crunchy on top.
Martin & sharon great video yet again, its very nice that you got a fab parcel from Florida well done to the couple what a lovely surprise enjoyed seen this video when I was in Florida all my cousins were eating corn bread with there meals or biscuits and sausage and gravy or gritts and well done streaky bacon and eggs thanks for a great video xx
Comparing biscuits with scones is like comparing bread to cake. They are a different texture, have a different taste, and different ingredients. Those biscuits looked good but you haven't tasted biscuits and gravy until you try it with sausage gravy. But that plain gravy goes very well with chicken fried steak or chicken.
Great video guys ive had biscuits and gravy from popeyes in the uk but the gravy from there is a cajun gravy brown in colour popeyes originated in lousianna so maybe the gravy is diffrent from around the states?? Im going to florida for my holidays this year so ill give the biscuits and gravy a try from there! 👌
Every gravy is different, there really isnt a single codified recipe. Its basically used from leftover fats, meats and grease from other things. If making base by itself though, its usually ground country sausage browned, then add flour and brown the flour as well. Then add in milk slowly and then keep stirring it as it thickens. Depending on what meat/grease you use as the base the color will vary drastically.
This country gravy has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Besides biscuits it can be used on chicken, chicken croquettes, country fried steak (aka chicken-fried steak), sausages or even scrambled eggs. My all-time favorite though is an item referred to as breakfast pizza. It's a pizza that uses the country gravy in place of the usual tomato-based pizza sauce and is topped with beakfast sausage, scrambled eggs and cheddar and mozzarella cheese. It can also include diced ham or bacon or chicken ... I've seen it with many different types of meats (sometimes all at once, sometimes just one at a time). It's one of those pizzas that tastes good either reheated or cold the next day as well.
Hi Martin and Sharon, well this was different. How kind of your subscribers to send it to you. The salt and pepper shakers were nice. I liked the look of the biscuits, i would have to slice them in half and put butter on them. I didn't like the look of the gravy.
Mybe cook the flour and butter for the gravy a bit longer so that the flour cooks to a darker colour. You just have to make sure you keep stirring to avoid lumps when you then pour in the milk
Biscuits and gravy ? I have just watched you make a Béchamel sauce. Using a blond roux , which is a basic white sauce, Not Gravy, poured over cheese scones.
@@butlersempire Yes I know m8 I should have been more clearer it wasn't meant to be directed towards you more so on culinary differences and wording between two english speaking countries, I have shared your video on twitter hopefully it will bring some more views in.
Hahahahahahaha, this made me laugh so much 😂. Martin, you cracked me up, old mate lol…. Great video again from you both…. Cheers 🥂 I can’t get the idea in my head of biscuits and gravy looking like that!
after putting garlic on them you would eat them as a side. No garlic with gravy. Proper gravy is made with Sausage grease. If you do not have enough grease you can supplement with bacon grease, lard or butter. Sausage gravy has small bits of sausage in it and is a game changer in the gravy world.
Instead of using butter replace it with bacon grease in the roux and you will lick your eyebrows trying not to miss a drop of that gravy.😅 That's how we do it in Louisiana.
There's a great video on UA-cam about the difference between scones and biscuits. Basically, they're the [not] same thing, with the main difference being eggs and sugar. Scones tend to have eggs & sugar, biscuits tend not to have eggs or sugar. So, scones are slightly denser/heavier and maybe sweeter. Biscuits are primarily butter & flour, no eggs or sugar, so they're a bit lighter, fluffier, more buttery. But they're both from basically the same family of quick breads. And there may be different varieties of "scones" that leave out sugar or eggs, and are thus more similar to what we'd call "biscuits." So, there may be **some** overlap...? But, at heart, they're **basically** the same, just with minor differences in texture/ingredients.
And, yeah, adding browned ground/'minced' sausage meat to make "sausage gravy" takes it up a notch. White / "country" gravy [as opposed to "brown gravy" using just meat drippings and/or a little flour to thicken it] is quite nice on its own. Goes well with mashed potatoes, or chicken-fried steak, or over biscuits. But sausage gravy is just that little extra bit better. Quite savory, meaty, and filling. Typically, I think we'd also slice the biscuits in half horizontally, and then serve them "open faced" with the inside up and sausage gravy smothering it/them on top. Can be had on its own. But can also be accompanies by hash browns, eggs, bacon or sausage links, toast, fruit, pancakes / french toast, etc. That'd be a large / full American sit-down breakfast when like eating out at a restaurant or diner, or maybe like a large weekend meal when we actually have time to cook a full breakfast, as opposed to just grabbing something quick before heading out the door... Like cereal or a bagel and cream cheese, or some fruit, or fast food on the way in to work, etc.
I make what they call gravy in America.all the time! But in OZ it is simply a white sauce to go with corned beef etc. I mainly make it and add either cheese for a cheese sauce..wholegrain or dijonnaise mustard..parsley..onion..leeks etc. I rarely use it plain as I find it quite tasteless.
LMAO at “it’s not biscuits or gravy but I don’t know what it is”. That’s brilliant. Normally biscuits with sausage gravy don’t have cheese in them. Def try adding cooked ground sausage in the gravy…makes all the difference. Lots of us expats in Florida and looks like we’re all enjoying the Butlers ❤
Definitely need to add ground sausage to the gravy and add hash browns…. IHOP
That's the way we did it
This is a biscuit mix from Red Lobster. A chain of restaurants in the USA. They are not the same as biscuits and gravy.
@@allygriffiths4750 exactly. I’m in the US, very familiar with red lobster
To clarify…pork sausage.
There has been a slight miscommunication. While those ARE biscuits, they are NOT the biscuits we use when making "Biscuits and Gravy."

Hi Sharon and Martin love watching you guys 😂from South Africa
Probably better with the sausage gravy. But to be honest when I was in the states I couldn’t get the hang of the biscuits and gravy. I’m an Aussie
Everyone, you need to try it in America.

Great video yet again well done you two
Yep you either should have browned the butter and flour or added sausage to that gravy . Also normal biscuits not cheese biscuits with the gravy
They tend to cook bacon in the pan and use the that pan to make the gravy in with the bacon grease, tates much nicer 😊
Love the honesty guys. 😊. Aussie Bob ❤
Yes I think you just need to cook flour and butter a bit longer I can imagine it would be nice with a couple of Lincolnshire sausages chopped up and mixed in .thanks for the video love watching you both.
Nice would try them.We had your macaroni corned beef tonight yummy.All the best to you all.
Hope you enjoy
I’m not sure what you guys are eating, but please give it another go! Biscuits and gravy done right are awesome. They are easy enough to make homemade and you should!
Americans call this biscuits and gravy but us Londoners would call it cheese scones with white sauce! Maybe cheese sauce would have gone better? Give me a sweet scone anytime with clotted cream and jam 😋😋😋😋😋😋 x
This wasnt really biscuits and gravy though. This was basically dinner biscuits and white gravy. Real biscuits and gravy are a buttermilk biscuit and country style gravy. Both are totally different than what they had here. The biscuits they made, white delicious, arent meant for biscuits and gravy, but more of a garlic bread replacement. Also, they made a simple white gravy which is radically different than a country style gravy. I would assume all the cheese and garlic radically altered the flavor away from what biscuits and gravy tastes like.
Guys a tru Southern way is to cook sausage in the gravy n pour over the other...its lush
You two are masters of British diplomacy! 😂
It is like a cobbler..love your video,s..x
These biscuits usually go with seafood meal, also most gravy is made from the leavings from sausage, or fried chicken in a skillet. I just use butter,not a gravy person. Real biscuits are just flour, butter and milk, taste great with jams or preserves.
There are 2 types of cornbread/ muffins. Jiffy is yellow and is sweet, the other is a white cornbrad/muffin it's not sweet.
Thanks for the tips!
Next time try useing bacon grease to make the gravy with
What a lovely gift! The sausage gravy is very nice to try !!
Yea, I was like Sharon, I didn't need the gravy. I used to love Red Lobster! I used to like biscuits with supper - how about chucking a load of cheese in the gravy? I used to live in Great Lakes... Good fun you trying these foreign classics . More cheese - You can put bangers in the gravy...
Americans wont be putting gravy on cheddar biscuits though either. This wasnt biscuits and gravy.
In America we usually don’t eat the gravy so plain. There are many things you can add to the gravy. Those biscuits are not for gravy.
We split the plain biscuit and pour the gravy over. If you come to the southern part of America please try the sausage gravy with biscuits.
We did say this was a basic gravy.
This was a basic white gravy, not a country gravy. Still quite good, but not quite the same thing.
The biscuits are from red lobster restaurant, served as your bread. The gravy is so much better with crumbled breakfast, not the ones that are patties or links. We use Bob Evans sausage that comes in a roll, as you cook it you crumble it up. After cooking the sausage it's important not to drain the dripping, use them or bacon to start the roux.. They are o e of my favorite breakfast but only like once month lol
A ladies name should always be first… in America they also have cup measurements on measuring jugs. I’m not sure the white gravy is for me.
If you had the biscuits ,and gravy here in the US it wouldn’t be white,as you brown the sausage meat before you make the gravy.
@@JanetBrown-px2jn The ironic part, is that these guys themselves still havent actually had biscuits and gravy. These arent the biscuits you use for it, and they made a plain white gravy, not country gravy.
We had biscuits and gravy as well as sausages at breakfast in Sante Fe, New Mexico, and I'm still pondering! Something outside of our UK 'Taste Zone' perhaps? x
They probably didn't make it the right way. Properly done, they are delicious.
@lancewilliams4847 Yuck is a word that comes to mind. Neither cream of mushroom or chicken soup is appropriate for B&G. I wouldn't eat your recipe. I've lived in USA for long enough to know that you are not describing B&G at all.
I don't even know what you are describing.
In Britain we brown our meat and poultry off before cooking for appearance as well. I love Asian, Indian food however I do choose tikka so there's colour on the meat. Chinese food is wonderful however the poultry meat is pale and in my humble opinion I'd prefer a bit of quick fried poultry to colour it. Maybe the reason is it would change the taste. Lol.
Oh my friend, next time you must add some fried bits of sausage or bacon or dried beef. You will love it. Cheers from Philly
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Martin and Sharron and family
Over here we have several kinds of "bisquits" Baking Powder Bisquits or Buttermilk Bisquits, Raised Bread Bisquits, you probably call dinner rolls. Corn Bread. and others.
The gravy should be salty and peppery. Add crumbled sausage, or ground beef, or dried chipped beef. Make it very savory. Put an over easy egg on top and some hashbrowns.
Sounds great!
Just got my chefree air fryer did a whole chicken and roast potatoes came out really great and got the discount thanks for your review of the air fryer keep up the great work
Hi Paul My Chefree delivered yesterday. Very impressed with the quality and there is plenty of room in the baskets. My dishes fit and some liners i got from Amazon. Hope Sharon and Martin will show us how to cook a chicken in the Chefree so we know the settings, etc. Thanks Eileen
@E T thanks for your email Eileen the chicken I got had the cooking time for a air fryer on it can't remember what it was but you can go by the time on the chicken for a normal oven just keep an eye on it I hope this has helped paul
Great to hear!
Reminded me of the Bero recipe for Rock Buns. Strange to have them with white sauce!
good try few more ingredient and yall got it as an add on though i do 2 over easy eggs on top of the biscuits and then top it with the gravy the yolk adds to the overall flavor imo
for your first time cooking it is impressive. This is one of my fav dish's as a American. You def need to try country fried steak.
Sounds great!
When I went to Florida I made some UK brown gravy and I invited a friend of my son who didn't know what gravy was. He was only about 8 years old. When I put the gravy on his dinner, he asked me what it was lol. When he ate it he was raving about it, ran home to tell his mom that he had gravy with his dinner lol ... He loved it. Those biscuits look different, I didn't see them in Florida though. I'm trying my best to watch your backlog of videos but it's taking me ages lolol 😂😂😂❤❤❤
There is quite a few vids Denise lol
@@butlersempire yes I'm finding that out lol. Squirrel song is my favourite so far 😂
We do have the same gravy's as the UK here as well, we simply added one to the mix in country gravy is all. Brown gravy is used quite often here in the States, it simply serves a different purpose than country gravy.
@@dalehammers4425 where are you based? They don't know what gravy is in Florida and don't have chip shops either... We also have Staffordshire oatcakes here but you don't have them in the USA 😀
@@Denise18_03 Live in Kansas, but spent most my life in California.
Never had it that way y’all made a new dish
You cook the sausage crumbled up then put flour , salt and pepper. All in the same pan that way you use the sausage grease instead of butter
Thanks for the tips!
Martin and Lee need to do Route 66 lol
No I would miss my hubby to much.
Be a great video whoevers onnit....all them diners !!!
Youve given us bicuit and gravy and in return we give you jellied eels 😮
I think the mixture looked like it had suet in it 💕
Yes, we think that too. I think the Americans call it shortening.
If it had suet in it, wouldn't that make them more like a dumpling rather than a scone? Like Sharon said about putting them on top of a casserole or stew maybe? Some are saying you need ground sausage meat in the white sauce, but I don't think even that would tempt me. White sauce to me is for making parsley/cheese/bread sauces etc not putting over a biscuit/scone/dumpling. Maybe I'm too fussy🤔😂
These definitely remind me of suet dumplings that go on the top of a stew especially if you crisp the top of them for the last ten minutes of cooking so they’re soft in the middle and crunchy on top.
Martin & sharon great video yet again, its very nice that you got a fab parcel from Florida well done to the couple what a lovely surprise enjoyed seen this video when I was in Florida all my cousins were eating corn bread with there meals or biscuits and sausage and gravy or gritts and well done streaky bacon and eggs thanks for a great video xx
Thanks so much
Comparing biscuits with scones is like comparing bread to cake. They are a different texture, have a different taste, and different ingredients. Those biscuits looked good but you haven't tasted biscuits and gravy until you try it with sausage gravy. But that plain gravy goes very well with chicken fried steak or chicken.
Those barbecue sheets are amazing martin / Sharon - thanks for the heads up 👍🏻🏴
You’re welcome 😊
Great video guys ive had biscuits and gravy from popeyes in the uk but the gravy from there is a cajun gravy brown in colour popeyes originated in lousianna so maybe the gravy is diffrent from around the states?? Im going to florida for my holidays this year so ill give the biscuits and gravy a try from there! 👌
Every gravy is different, there really isnt a single codified recipe. Its basically used from leftover fats, meats and grease from other things. If making base by itself though, its usually ground country sausage browned, then add flour and brown the flour as well. Then add in milk slowly and then keep stirring it as it thickens. Depending on what meat/grease you use as the base the color will vary drastically.
This country gravy has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Besides biscuits it can be used on chicken, chicken croquettes, country fried steak (aka chicken-fried steak), sausages or even scrambled eggs. My all-time favorite though is an item referred to as breakfast pizza. It's a pizza that uses the country gravy in place of the usual tomato-based pizza sauce and is topped with beakfast sausage, scrambled eggs and cheddar and mozzarella cheese. It can also include diced ham or bacon or chicken ... I've seen it with many different types of meats (sometimes all at once, sometimes just one at a time). It's one of those pizzas that tastes good either reheated or cold the next day as well.
You forgot hash browns on that list of things country gravy is great on :)
John Wayne used to dip his biscuits in his stew in his films 😳
These biscuits are far more suited to having with stew actually.
I love cornbread
A really interesting video as I have never seen that dish before. Lovely cooking from Sharon and camera work from Martin ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Martin and Sharon, well this was different. How kind of your subscribers to send it to you. The salt and pepper shakers were nice. I liked the look of the biscuits, i would have to slice them in half and put butter on them. I didn't like the look of the gravy.
😂😂 jackie first so she wrote the letter 😂😂😂
Good vlog. I tried them in America and didn't like them. Very dry and I thought they were there for the sake of being there.
Mybe cook the flour and butter for the gravy a bit longer so that the flour cooks to a darker colour. You just have to make sure you keep stirring to avoid lumps when you then pour in the milk
I had no lumps
Taste better with bits of sausage in it, I love buttermilk biscuits. Ex pat watching from Kansas.
Also, not using cheddar biscuits...
yummy yummy sharon none for martin xx
Afternoon Sharon and Martin
Next time you are in Tesco try there finest cheese scones , very nice
Biscuits and gravy ? I have just watched you make a
Béchamel sauce.
Using a blond roux , which is a basic white sauce, Not Gravy, poured over cheese scones.
Its not our recipe, its what the Americans call a gravy.
@@butlersempire Yes I know m8 I should have been more clearer it wasn't meant to be directed towards you more so on culinary differences and wording between two english speaking countries, I have shared your video on twitter hopefully it will bring some more views in.
@@Johna130 what they made isnt actually American biscuits and gravy though...
Hahahahahahaha, this made me laugh so much 😂. Martin, you cracked me up, old mate lol…. Great video again from you both…. Cheers 🥂
I can’t get the idea in my head of biscuits and gravy looking like that!
In America, they serve this a lot with fried chicken, Cracker Barrel, or famous for their biscuits
OMG you mentioned the magic words Cracker Barrel I eat there nearly every day when I go to U.S.A.
Yep, fairly common in the southeast, but in the northwest, I’ll take an omelette, hash browns and bacon (perhaps with an English Muffin).
I love cracker barrel too :)
after putting garlic on them you would eat them as a side. No garlic with gravy. Proper gravy is made with Sausage grease. If you do not have enough grease you can supplement with bacon grease, lard or butter. Sausage gravy has small bits of sausage in it and is a game changer in the gravy world.
Instead of using butter replace it with bacon grease in the roux and you will lick your eyebrows trying not to miss a drop of that gravy.😅 That's how we do it in Louisiana.
There's a great video on UA-cam about the difference between scones and biscuits.
Basically, they're the [not] same thing, with the main difference being eggs and sugar.
Scones tend to have eggs & sugar, biscuits tend not to have eggs or sugar.
So, scones are slightly denser/heavier and maybe sweeter. Biscuits are primarily butter & flour, no eggs or sugar, so they're a bit lighter, fluffier, more buttery.
But they're both from basically the same family of quick breads. And there may be different varieties of "scones" that leave out sugar or eggs, and are thus more similar to what we'd call "biscuits." So, there may be **some** overlap...? But, at heart, they're **basically** the same, just with minor differences in texture/ingredients.
And, yeah, adding browned ground/'minced' sausage meat to make "sausage gravy" takes it up a notch.
White / "country" gravy [as opposed to "brown gravy" using just meat drippings and/or a little flour to thicken it] is quite nice on its own. Goes well with mashed potatoes, or chicken-fried steak, or over biscuits. But sausage gravy is just that little extra bit better. Quite savory, meaty, and filling.
Typically, I think we'd also slice the biscuits in half horizontally, and then serve them "open faced" with the inside up and sausage gravy smothering it/them on top.
Can be had on its own. But can also be accompanies by hash browns, eggs, bacon or sausage links, toast, fruit, pancakes / french toast, etc. That'd be a large / full American sit-down breakfast when like eating out at a restaurant or diner, or maybe like a large weekend meal when we actually have time to cook a full breakfast, as opposed to just grabbing something quick before heading out the door... Like cereal or a bagel and cream cheese, or some fruit, or fast food on the way in to work, etc.
I make what they call gravy in America.all the time! But in OZ it is simply a white sauce to go with corned beef etc.
I mainly make it and add either cheese for a cheese sauce..wholegrain or dijonnaise mustard..parsley..onion..leeks etc. I rarely use it plain as I find it quite tasteless.
