Biscuits

White Gravy

Eggs

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape and Bake

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds. Pat into a 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Fried Chicken

  1. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to tenderize them.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

White Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 7

    Add Milk and Seasoning

    Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

Eggs

  1. 8

    Fry the Eggs

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
