- Enjoy your delicious homemade buttermilk biscuits while they’re still warm.
What about the gravey?
Have never used buttermilk for gravy and make nearly every weekend.
Use sausage or bacon grease, never measure flour just adjust as stirring amount of oil determines amount of flour needed never stop stirring add 2 cups regular milk then cooking until combined.
Made since could reach top of gmas wood stove so about 5 back then.
