biscuits and gravy


I don't have biscuit cutters but I do have heart cookie cutters!


Smitten Kitchen just posted a recipe for buttermilk biscuits. This started getting me thinking about biscuits and gravy. Funny story about biscuits and gravy. Despite the fact that I grew up in Texas, the first time I ever saw this dish was freshman year of college when my beloved roommate, Gabrielle, sat down at our table with it. 

"What the hell is that?"

"Biscuits and gravy!"

"That looks gross!"

"It's delicious!"

Needless to say, I tried it...and was hooked. Every day for breakfast I'd sidle into the Kinsolving dining hall 5 mins before breakfast ended and get a plate of biscuits and gravy. 

While searching the web for country gravy recipes I came across this gem:

If this were a blind date, the recipe would be described as being “really fun with an amazing personality.”

I'll say it once: if I were a recipe, I would want to be biscuits and country gravy.
