Biscuits and gravy is a classic comfort food rooted in Southern American cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast dish. It consists of soft, flaky biscuits topped with a creamy, savory gravy typically made from sausage drippings, milk, and flour, seasoned with black pepper. The dish offers an indulgent mix of rich flavors and satisfying textures. Biscuits provide carbohydrates, while the gravy contributes protein and fat, depending on the use of sausage or other ingredients. However, it is also high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, making it best enjoyed in moderation. For a healthier version, consider using whole-grain biscuits, leaner meats, and lower-fat dairy options to reduce fat and calorie content while maintaining its comforting essence. While not traditionally known as a health food, Biscuits and Gravy can be a delicious occasional treat reflecting the robust flavors of Southern cooking.
