Southern-Style Biscuits and Gravy by Brown Eyed Baker

There is no better way to start your morning than with the Southern classic biscuits and gravy. Already, we (and most of the world) cannot resist bread. Then, you add a savory gravy glaze, and it becomes even better. We love Brown Eyed Baker's version because they use extra seasoning from breakfast sausage, salt and pepper in the gravy for a more complex flavor.
