Southern style biscuits and gravy

I had fully intended to include a photograph of the absolutely divine biscuits and gravy that my sweetheart made me for breakfast on Sunday. But I forgot to take a picture in my delight at eating that scrumptious Southern delectable. 

Then I had planned to take a picture to include here today when I reheated the left overs for lunch. Again, something about this Southern staple just fried my brain and I forgot the camera in my rush to get these goodies in my mouth.

I did not grow up in the South and until 10 years ago, had never ventured into Southern tradition or biscuits and gravy land.  For that matter, my  mammy didn't make gravy--she might pour the juice from the bottom of the roasting pan over our potatoes but she didn't fry it up with flour in a skillet, that's for sure.  So you can imagine my ignorance never having tasted this treat.

I wish I could give you the recipe--remind me and I'll see if I can wiggle it out of my darling man.

What I do know for certain is that the use of this vintage biscuit cutter has made many a weekend morning breakfast all the sweeter.  According to my sweetie, it just makes it so much easier to get the biscuit out than trying to cut them with a glass--which suctions the biscuit into the glass and requires a careful digging out.

If you haven't tried Southern biscuits and gravy, Lordy Lordy chil' you need to get sum!!!
