Biscuits with sausage gravy was one of the earlier dishes my wife cooked to woo me. Such a warm and hearty dish.

This deserves its own post.
My biscuits explode with delight!
If you've never had authentic sausage biscuits and gravy, you're missing out. It's glutenous, but so so good.
I made these a couple years ago out of curiosity. They remind me a little of scones. They are pretty good and would go well with a roast dinner.
They are scones. Savoury scones.
Biscuit literally means twice cooked, from the French, originally from Latin. A biscuit is first baked, then dried. These scones are cooked but once.
What's really weird is that the dish originated in the British Channel Island of Guernsey, where a lot of people speak French (it is close to France than England), most of their roads are French, and they have their own French dialect. And yet they cooked something once and called it a biscuit.
I'm gonna move to the UK and open a scones-and-curry-sauce shop
This is the international outreach we needed in these troubled times.
Oh for sure. Don't forget the butter :-)
Where the fuck is a biscuit in that atrocity?
Brits would call them butter scones. The things on the right, under the gravy
Have you ever tried them?
Not asleep... and those things are weird.
Can't dunk them in your tea either, not that you lot know how to make tea.
You put the mug in the microwave, that's how.
Just the mug and water, mind. You microwave the teabag separately.
Put tea bags in a pitcher of water and let it sit in a cool place for at least an hour. Serve over in a glass with ice and a lemon wedge. Sugar optional.
Let me Introduce you to the American south who consumes tons of tea, and makes the best biscuits
No dunking with those though tbf, they are right, however these pair well with sweet tea for a nice bite n' sip combo, even though yes you eat them with a fork instead of dunking, I guess. What a weird hang-up lol.
The tea they consume is sweet tea which, though delicious, contains diabetes inducing amounts of sugar.
High five for you, too.
Come in!
not that you lot know how to make tea.
this isn't quite the insult to americans you might think it is
I guess @i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk forgot what us Americans thought of their tea back in the day.
~Though I heard it was quite the party!~
High fivvee on the eve of D-Day
Holdup, why can't we dip 'em in our tea?
Well, they fall apart a little too easy, the tea is iced and sweet which isn't the most conducive to a dunk though not impossible, and getting gravy/sausage inside the tea does sound kinda gross to me too tbh.
But you just take a bite with a fork and then sip your tea, it's functionally the same.
I'm in the northern part of the US, our tea is not sweet but probably 50/50 chance on if it's cold or hot, depends on the weather. Most of the biscuits I have eaten in my life had no gravy, we usually would eat them with dinner like a roll or bun, we might put jam or honey on them or maybe just butter.
Y'all're fucking up (source: I just said "y'all're"). Sweeten the tea (before it gets cold), and make you some gravy (brown your sausage, retain some grease but dump some in another container in case you need more but you only need like half of it, then add flour and milk while stirring, adjust for consistency, black pepper to taste).
It's not hard to find a good B&G in these parts, it's just not what we had growing up. Sorry, but sweet tea can fuck right off a cliff as far as I'm concerned. GTFO of here with that syrup.
we absolutely can dunk whatever we want in whatever liquid we want, because unlike some countries we have FREEDOM¹²

Just subscribe and what's the first post I see...this.
You are ok by me. I just hate a dry, crunchy biscuit, it doesn't soak up any gravy. Prefer a roll, now there's a gravy magnet
All packed and ready to go.
