The origin of biscuits & gravy
Biscuits and gravy is a popular breakfast dish in many parts of the United States and other countries. The origin of the dish is thought to be in the American South, where it was a popular part of a meal of comfort food.
It is believed to have been created in the late 1800s by African American cooks who used the ingredients that were readily available in the area.
Biscuits and gravy is typically made with either sausage gravy or white gravy, which is a roux of butter and flour, milk, and seasonings. The combination of these ingredients gives the dish its unique flavor.
