Biscuits and Gravy
This morning I decided to try my hand at homemade biscuits and gravy to give the asian folks I live with a real home cooked American breakfast. I cooked up some sausage gravy, biscuits, hand grated hash browns, fried eggs, and sausage links. A bit salty on the gravy, otherwise quite a success I must say. I cheated this time on the biscuits by using a boxed mix, but here is the full recipe I used for the gravy including notes.
