Biscuits and gravy is a classic comfort dish rooted in Southern American cuisine, often served as a hearty breakfast or brunch. It features soft, flaky biscuits typically made from flour, butter, baking powder, and milk or buttermilk, paired with a rich gravy crafted from pork sausage fat, flour, and milk, seasoned with black pepper and occasionally spices like cayenne or sage. While satisfying and flavorful, this dish is indulgent, as it generally contains high amounts of saturated fats, carbohydrates, and sodium. However, it provides energy and can be a source of protein from the sausage and milk. Healthier variations might use leaner meats, whole-grain biscuits, and lower-fat milk alternatives to reduce calorie and fat content. While not traditionally considered a health food, its hearty nature and deeply comforting qualities make it a beloved staple of Southern fare.
