Answer 2

In the grocery store they have packs of white gravy & brown gravy that is soooo good and all you have to do is add water.  With the white gravy I chop up ground sausage and make gravy biscuits and it is great!!

Answer 3

There are so many different varieties of gravy out there that it really depends on what you are looking for in particular.

By you using the term "biscuit" to describe a bread and not a cookie, I'm guessing you are at least somewhat familiar with southern food.

If that is the case, I would reccomend a milk gravy or even sausage gravy. Both of these are easy to make.

For milk gravy, put a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet and heat it. Add 1/4 cup flour, dash of salt and dash of pepper (you may omit these if you like), and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the flour is browned.

Once browned, slowly add a cup and a half to two cups of milk and cook, stirring constantly over medium to medium low heat, until thickened and the flour has dissolved well into the milk.

To make sausage gravy, simply cook your sausage in a skillet and once done, remove and use the sausage drippings in place of your oil. Then do the above steps. When gravy is ready, crumple up some sausage and stir into it.

I am doing a full photo tutorial on southern milk gravy and sausage gravy this Sunday on my blog.
