Bacon And Buttermilk Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Place sausages and bacon drippings in a skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking up sausage into bite-sized pieces, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add flour, stirring constantly. Slowly add buttermilk and cook and stir until gravy has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• For this recipe you will need a good skillet, saucepan, or Dutch oven.
• Do not have any buttermilk. No worries. You can substitute whole, or 2% milk. Just add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per cup of milk and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, use it as you would regular buttermilk.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Dice the bacon into small bits.
• Add to a medium-sized pan, or Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook until the fat is rendered, and the bacon crisps, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Remove all but 4 tablespoons of the bacon grease, then add the flour.
• If your bacon did not produce enough fat, you can sub some butter, or non-flavored oil.
• Stir over medium-low heat, for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Stirring the fat and the flour for a few minutes will help get rid of that flour taste.
• Add the buttermilk, a bit at a time, and keep stirring, as you are pouring.
• Slowly bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir to make sure you do not have any lumps.
• Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3 - 4 minutes.
• While the gravy is thickening, add some salt and pepper, to taste.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Biscuits, scrambled eggs, country-fried steak... It is gravy, go for it. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• In a frying pan over moderate heat, mix the bacon and the grease. Add the flour, stirring constantly until the flour is entirely blended with the grease and appears smooth. Add the cream and buttermilk and stir until the mixture thickens, approximately 5 minutes. Add pepper to taste and serve over biscuits.

Steps:

• Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes. Be careful, the roux burns easily. Stir in salt and black pepper.
• Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended. Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more. Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet to medium-hi. Place 6 slices of bacon in the skillet and cook until just under crispy.
• Remove bacon from skillet and drain; set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
• Add flour to grease, and whisk together. Cook for about a minute without burning the flour.
• Add milk; whisk together.
• Heat until bubbling. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken.
• Meanwhile, crumble bacon. Add salt and pepper (to taste), and bacon to gravy. Allow to simmer until desired consistency.
• Serve over biscuits.

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• Cook the bacon in a deep skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and keep the grease in the pan. Gradually stir in the flour so that no lumps form, then mix in the milk, continuing to cook and stir until thickened. Crumble the bacon into the gravy and season with salt and pepper before serving.
• Split biscuits in half, top with gravy, and enjoy!
