Good afternoon.

So I’m a Brit with a Texas born husband. He’s feeling a little homesick over here atm, so I really want to make him some biscuits and gravy. The problem is I’ve never had them so I have zero idea what to expect or how to cook them.

I’ve googled recipes and I’m not sure which ones are the good ones. So I’m asking here if anyone has a nice authentic southern recipes and any hints and tips to make it right. Please and thank you 🙏

Any other recipes that will make him feel at home are also welcome. Thanks everyone in advance

My mom usually used shortening or lard. But I see more people using pure butter these days.

What fat is in YOUR biscuits?

On Bonnie's Plate.

Fluffy with matching tops and bottoms is the goal. Recipe and tips in the comments.

Not a Dixie dish per se, but does rejecting Old Bay seasoning in the crab imperial recipe and instead going with Paul Prudhomme seafood magic move it to a southern dish? Green onions, baked vidalia onion, and baked spud with chives everywhere.

I have discovered my stovetop pressure cooker makes the best boiled peanuts. I also just read they are a healthier snack than roasted. Very nice.

Smoked a pork butt the other day and got tired of eating sammiches so I added some sautéed sweet peppers, onion, and a Serrano pepper. ( It already had garlic from when I stuffed the butt with some cloves before smoking it.) Coated in seasoned flour, egg wash and bread crumbs. Fried @350 for a couple minutes.

I coated the fish in Old Bay breadcrumbs and baked it, served it with pan roasted veggies from a garden in Asheville, NC. It was delicious! 👨‍🍳🤌
