• British Highschoolers ...
Thanks for watching and thank you for recommending this video to us!

We hope you enjoyed watching the high schoolers reactions as much as we did. Kids are so honest and it's fun to see their take on the American biscuits and gravy for the first time. Thank you for watching and we appreciate all the support. We promise not to call American biscuits "scones" in the future. 😅♥
This is the first time I'm seeing these two. I know they are from England but exactly where? 🇬🇧
They both have slightly different accents.
From: Columbus, Ohio 🇺🇲
😊 👍
Honestly, scones are probably the closest thing to buttermilk biscuits that exists in mainstream British cuisine. If anything, I would say that a British scone is about halfway between an American buttermilk biscuit, and a pastry. (American scones are closer to the pastry end of the scale.)
Biscuits are, of course, descended from the age-of-sail "ship's biscuit" (aka hardtack), which, by necessity, was made to still be technically edible after sitting in a barrel in the hold for a couple of months. Ship's biscuit wasn't very appetizing, so when people brought the concept with them onto land, they made various improvements. In America, they started using buttermilk (originally, because it was cheaply available due to being a byproduct), and when the biscuits were meant to be eaten fresh, cooks learned to avoid making them so tough. In Britain, things went in a different direction.
I believe popeyes has made it to the UK and buscuits and gravy is on the menu.
If you can, find a good recipe on line and make them yourself. If you want to try fried chicken with the gravy, you leave out the sausage from the gravy recipe you find. Just remember to add a lot of black pepper to the gravy you make.
@@robertboles247 You're right! Just found them, but unfortunately none that local to us. Next time we go on a trip, we'll give it a try. :)
Scones are a bread, Biscuits are where happiness and unicorns come from.
We do love unicorns 😂
A comment on another reaction said that a biscuit was a scone that saw a croissant and said, “I can do better.”
@@JustMe-dc6ks it told it to “ hold my butter” 😆
What do you think Jesus broke at the Last Supper? Yes, biscuits are Holy… approved by God 😂
And Gravy is made by very very happy unicorns, sliding down a rainbow, legs akimbo.
Being a Southerner, I keep two gallons of sweet tea in our drink fridge. AND we eat sausage & biscuits at every opportunity.
I feel sorry for Brits (no offense) that gravy there seems to be what we would call brown gravy here in the states. No chicken gravy, no turkey gravy, sawmill gravy, red eye gravy.....we will take any fat and turn it into gravy and ladle it over something :D
If you’d like to try a solid combination, have a biscuit with butter and warm honey ❤
We eat biscuits many ways: with just butter, with butter and jelly (jam), butter and sugar, butter and honey, with just gravy, etc...,. You have beans on toast, we have beans on cornbread. But, we don't use baked beans, we use white beans, or blackeyed peas, or red beans, or butter beans, etc...,.
Biscuits are also good for breakfast sandwiches with chicken, sausage, bacon or whatever.
Honey and butter I'd the best to put on biscuits!
I've done it with bushes baked beans. It's really good. But our/american canned beans have more seasoning/flavor.
We eat baked beans and cornbread.
@@saraheart2804 - With or on?
Biscuits and gravy is the BESTEST Winter breakfast there is. It stays with you all day - like a warm hug.
Everyone loves a warm hug!
''Do I have to eat all of that?'' No. You don't have to, but you will and you will want more!
The headmaster seems pretty cool
I wonder if this was Josh + Ollies school from childhood and they revisited?
@@AliKaiProject The headmaster is one of Josh's friends from when he was in school.
He's AWESOME! Highly recommend watching their trip to Korea with the school kids. You get to see a lot of the kids experiencing Korea for the first time and you get to see a lot of them interacting with each other and Mr Smith the headmaster who went with them. It's a WONDERFUL series! Lots of food, lots of experiences and lots of laughing
Mr smith seems like a complete legend.
@@AliKaiProjectI've actually wondered that same thing myself
The brutal honestly of children never fails to entertain.
The kid who said chop up ferret needs to see a therapist 😂😂😂😂
He’s always the weirdest one in every one of their videos. You can also tell he has an inherent hatred of all things American.
Might need to check the yard at his house because his comment was a bit too descriptive.
Thats how Jeffery Dahmer started
You have to understand that in America. Biscuits aren't scones because we have scones. It just simply happens that we have 2 separate things biscuits and scones. I've seen other videos in the past years. Where it's people from the UK that have mistakenly thought that biscuits were scones we. As Americans have always known, they're not because we got stones from the UK and every bakery out here sells them.
It all started in another video when we compared biscuits to scones based on looks. If only we knew the crime we had committed at the time... 😅
Scones here, at least most commercial ones, don’t usually look like biscuits. That’s probably part of the reason for the strong reaction.
@@AliKaiProject Just not going to compare British Scones with American scones. American scones are not like American biscuits. The recipes are distinctly separate. Scones are typically baked and served in a triangular shape, are often glazed and are harder and crumblier than biscuits. A well made biscuit is like biting into a buttery cloud. It just dissolves in your mouth.
American biscuits, are light, fluffy, and buttery, we also have rolls which are completely different. In the US, we make many different gravies, to go with the many different meats we make. Biscuits and sausage gravy is made with pan drippings, milk, and flour giving it the light grey to white color. Most other gravies are made with pan drippings, water, and flour, giving it a varied brown color. We even make a Red Eye gravy for ham, which has coffee in it, for an almost black color.
You can eat biscuits with butter and jam… sweet and a little salty’
Sausage biscuit with grape jelly on one side and a little yellow mustard on the other. Yum.....
These kids are absolutely beautiful! Just wait until you watch Josh and Ollie taking uni students to Korea. It's another series to blow your minds. ALL the "Jolly" series videos are really good. Nice reaction, btw.
As a new JOLLY fan, I'm massively impressed by the quality and content of their videos. Watching Brits eating American food feels quite relatable somehow.
That from their other channel Korean englishman
Jolly has quite a few reactions of both British and American kids reacting to each others foods. I think you will enjoy those videos too.
With chicken we have the gravy without the sausage in it. We use butter as a base instead of the sausage grease.
We have so many different kinds of gravy here in the U.S. that it boggles the mind.
Biscuits are a kind of quick bread that doesn't need to rise because there's no yeast in it. Instead you use baking powder.
I've noticed so many Brits think we only have one variety of something. One reactor had a gift box sent and it had RC cola in it. He was wondering why RC cola, didn't we Americans have Coke Cola? I guess since he grew up with Coke in Britain, he just assumed it was from there!
Biscuits are also not "a sweet bread, basically" like the one teen suggests, lol. There's no sugar in biscuits, unless it's purposefully sweet for a specific reason, so I'm not sure where he got that idea, lol. You can totally make this and the sweet tea, too. The biscuits are easy as is the sausage gravy. We do put jam, jelly, honey, butter on biscuits.
JOLLY has several videos with these kids for you to check out. They are fabulous!
FYI, beans on toast isn't that unusual BUT it's not like a normal snack/meal, etc. It's more likely to be eaten as a bowl of beans with a piece of toast on the side.
And flaky. They're layered almost like a proper pastry, a thing most people forget to mention.
@@garyco766 true but I think for the most part when people think "flaky and layered" it's the ones you can literally pull off flat disc layers and not regular fat more crumbly textured biscuits.
Biscuits and Gravy are amazing, and with chicken is awesome. The guys that run Jolly have another channel called Korean Englishman, those 2 are both great and this video was similar to many. They are friends with that headmaster and have dozens of videos with the boys over the years (many the same, some changed over time, and I believe the first ones just recently graduated, they go to Korea with them on a trip. Other great channels for reactions are Lost in The Pond (A brit that moved to the states quite a few years ago), The Fat Electrician (more military related, but he is an AMAZING story teller and finds VERY interesting stories in the history of wars), The New Zealand Family just did a 4 state visit of the US and have some great videos out, and are about to do an RV tour of the US. The Beesleys that do reaction videos are in the US right now making videos.
Thank you for the suggestions we're always looking for new content to react to. We were looking into The New Zealand family, but haven't heard of the rest so that's really helpful! 😍
I do believe that our biscuits are like savory scones. But we also have a few types of biscuits. Buttermilk biscuits are the best with gravy. We also call this gravy a sausage milk gravy.
We have beans (probably 100 varieties) and we have toast . . . . ya, I have NEVER seen anyone put beans on toast ever....lol. I know you all do though.
If you all want to try biscuits and sausage gravy - I'm positive you can Google the receipe - it's quite simple actually - the biscuits are the "hardest" part and that's not really hard - the gravy is ground sausage meat - browned - add flour and mix until flour is a bit brown - add milk to desire consistency add salt and pepper and pour over biscuits! YUM!!!
We have scones here . . too bad you all don't have biscuits!! We have biscuits you can bake that the dough comes in a package - so easy and soooo good! We are spoiled!
Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to the flour before you add it to the pan grease.
The gravey is made by sautéing breakfast sausage and the making a roux then adding milk/ cream and black pepper simmer till it thickens
If we can master the roux, then we can make gumbo? 😋
@@AliKaiProject yes absolutely… roux is the simplest think to make … equal part unsalted butter and flour… mix with whisk in sauce pan till it becomes slightly darker getting more golden but not to much…. Then whisk in what liquid you’re using …. But for Gumbo the roux has to be dark brown with out it being burnt…continues storing … that is the secret to Louisiana creole Cajun cooking
@@AliKaiProject the gumbo roux is much much darker than you'd use for sausage gravy, you'd cook it to a chocolate color for gumbo, whereas it's blonde for gravy (just trying to get the raw flour flavor cooked out). Then your next step is going to be wildly different between the two. It's very much doable though, hopefully Amazon could provide some of the more obscure spices to you, like "File". If you're going to make the effort should provide the extra options to explore. :)

"Is It.An Iced Tea?"
Yes,it is iced tea.
Ironically, iced tea was actually introduced to Americans by an English man who had served it in the 1929 world's fair
Oh, one more thing... lucky for you, biscuits & gravy is easy to make with things you have! There's a reason it's a staple in the south, everybody can easily make it at home! All you need to do is fry up some sausages for breakfast in a pan, just as you usually would. Then, take the sausages out but leave the sausage grease. Slowly add a little flour to the hot sausage grease to thicken it up and make a roux, then add some milk and let that thicken. Then, break up the sausages and add those back in. Boom, you have sausage gravy.
You could have it over scones just to get close to it, but biscuits seem to be more heavy on the butter. You can make biscuits from scratch as well, or over here we have raw biscuit dough in tins that pop open and you just put them on a baking tray and pop them in the oven. Either way, you can try biscuits & gravy easily enough, without buying anything exotic or spending a lot of money. Cheers! :)
Oh, but our sausage isn't like an encased sausage - it's ground pork and spices and seasoning. Here's a video of a fellow British family making S&G at home.
th-cam.com/video/0-GzUod7WEU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MrHandFriends
Key ingredients for biscuits include cold buttermilk and cold butter, flour and baking powder. Cold ingredients are key because the butter chunks in the dough is what make them so damn flaky on the inside and crispon the outside.
Biscuits and Gravy are more of a southern (US) thing. In the northeast, I grew up eating warm biscuits with butter, and even butter and jam. A lot of people eat warm biscuits with honey.
We have scones here, too - they seem to be a little more dense, like Irish scones (at least in my family). Scones can have blueberries in them, or almonds, ect...they are more of a sweet item whereas biscuits are buttery and flakey. Not as dense or sweet.
Biscuits and gravy are popular in every state, not just a Southern thing.
Y'all, you have all the ingredients to make everything you have seen. It's just that we figured out how to create this with them. Pop in the kitchen and whip you up some B&G!
Might have to try 😄
@@AliKaiProjectplease do, and film it! Biscuits and gravy is very easy to make and really requires minimal basic ingredients. It’s also f-ing delicious. I’m from the Pacific Northwest of America, though did live in the South for a while as a child, and biscuits and gravy is my go-to whenever I go out for breakfast. It’s also an ideal hangover meal, fwiw.
You might have trouble finding American breakfast sausage.
@@JustMe-dc6ks is that really hard to find in the UK? I’m genuinely asking, as I haven’t been there. I know sausages are flavored and prepped differently. What are the components of an American breakfast sausage that are different than a UK sausage? Can an independent butcher make one?
Outside of the sausage (which is definitely an essential component), the biscuits and the base of the white gravy are very simple to make on one’s own. The sausage is an absolutely essential ingredient to understand the dish though.
@@cultivatinggrace Its nonexistent. The main difference is sage, but also brown sugar an other things. The channels In the UK that tried started with plain ground pork an added sage.
Just t let you guys know…. Biscuits are not sweet…. They have a small amount of sugar in the ingredients but generally savory
Interesting. I am old school southern and we never put any sugar at all in our biscuits. Maybe a little in the cornbread (that is controversial), but never the biscuits.
@@auburnkim1989 my grandmother from Florida recipe…. She only put about a 1/2 teaspoon in…. Just something she liked and we all grew up with that recipe
And though Brits constantly try to call them scones, biscuits don't have egg, along with the little or no sugar, means they are not sweet and have a lighter texture than scones. I love both but they are only slightly similar!
Only time I had a sweet biscuit is when I eat at Church’s chicken and biscuits restaurant. Their biscuits are sweet on the top
Noooooo.....no sugar in biscuits 😂😂
Those of us with Appalachian roots also have biscuits with chocolate gravy and biscuits with red eye gravy. Yum! I am a first time viewer and I really enjoyed this reaction video. Big thumbs up!
Thanks for watching 😃
The diversion of the word biscuit in American English is due to the abundance of variety in American food. We actually have what the Brits would call a Biscuit. But it would be called a Tea Biscuit. As in a biscuit you'd have with tea. But in America we also have Breakfast Biscuits(shown in the video), Supper Biscuits, Southern Style Biscuits, Sour Dough Biscuits, Beer Biscuits, Buttermilk Biscuits, Tak and trail Biscuits. However, our fondness for Breakfast Biscuits and their pairing with gravy is why when you simply say Biscuit. We automatically assume you mean breakfast style Biscuits. But if you were to ask for a Biscuit with your tea. We'd give you something similar to what you associate with the word Biscuit.
Scones here are often a little sweeter. Maybe topped with slivered almonds, orange zest, blueberries, chocolate & maybe a small drizzle of icing. Scones are often much denser than biscuits and not as flaky
Being a Texan, I just cannot imagine English beans on toast. I guess I've been a bit spoiled with the food we have here. Biscuits and gravy? Great for breakfast. Or bacon, egg and potato soft tacos. Yes, please. Beans with barbecue, or pork and beans as a side dish works well. An so on and so on...
I personally have a piece of buttered bread or piece of buttered toast when I have a bowl of beans. I always have and I have never lived in the UK, not weird to me at all. Biscuits and gravy are super easy to make, there are a lot of videos online that can talk you through the process......worth the effort!
We have Scones in the US as well, they are normally with fruit baked in and are on the dryer side. Biscuits are kind of dry too but they are more of a buttery, salty hint of sweet. The kid wanted jam on his biscuit, that's not that unusual here too however putting honey on them is pretty common.
Of all the Jolly videos, my favorites are the ones where they give school kids our food. It always gives me a fresh perspective on food I see every day.
As a daily hot and iced tea drinker, the amount of sugar to use depends upon your personal preference.
The texture is quite similar compared to a scone but is savory rather than slightly sweet. The "gravy" is a variation of what is called "sawmill gravy" but in this case is made with ground/minced sausage meat and the gravy is also savory and generally made with a fair dose of black pepper, though variations exist.
Just to explain sweet iced tea... it's mainly a southern thing, and it's iced tea because it gets FUCKING HOT down here! Not just hot, but humid. The air in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana is thick. It feels heavy to just walk through it down the street. If you come to visit, you will be craving tea, but cold! And lots of it!
Biscuits & sausage gravy is a southern staple, mainly because of the agricultural nature of the south. When you live in a small town and work on farms, there's not a lot of restaurants to get lunch. So we go for a big heavy breakfast loaded with protein, fat, and carbs to keep you full for a day of physical labor. Hence, bacon, eggs, country ham, biscuits & sausage gravy, and grits.
Since you're going to get to grits eventually, I'll explain those too. Your closest thing would be porridge. It's boiled cornmeal, served with butter, toast, and jam. That's it. Nothing fancy. The same way you grind wheat to make flour, you grind corn to make cornmeal. Then you use that to make grits and cornbread. Grits are kind of bland and usually dressed up with other stuff; shrimp & grits is a popular dish along the coast. The same way you would eat oatmeal or cream of wheat porridge, that's how you eat grits. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the comment. Grits sound a bit like polenta?
@@AliKaiProject Yeah, polenta and grits are basically the same, just different varieties of corn, so grits are paler, almost white, and I believe grits are slightly larger, so a little more texture.
@@RogCBrand Ah nice, we've had polenta before and enjoyed it so look forward to trying grits at some point. 😃
@@AliKaiProjectgrits with cheese with any protein (Bacon, sausage fried fish, shrimp, crawfish, Fried chicken, pot roast etc) is like manna from heaven. I eat 2 biscuits one savory ( sometimes with Sawmill gravy or by itself) and one sweet my options are jelly, honey or syrup. Sweet tea is sweet and cold. Ice tea is cold no sugar. My favorite sweet tea options Arnold Palmer ( Sweet tea & Lemonade) Fruit tea ( sweet tea with orange & pineapple juice) and/or each option with a little liquor 😊. We also have several different types of gravy's ( brown gravy, white (poured on fried chicken, chicken fried steak, Country fried steak), Sawmill gravy(white gravy with sausage), red-eye gravy (made from fried ham drippings & coffee), tomato gravy (poured on fried chicken or fried fish), Giblet Gravy (eaten with Turkey usually during Thanksgiving). Southern and Soul food is different and really good!
Ice in drinks, is not the norm in alot of European countries. The weather is somewhat cooler, and just doesn't demand ice in drinks. We in the US, even want ice in our drinks, when the temp outside is Zero.
When in doubt cook it, look up southern biscuits and gravy, recipes and make it from scratch
But it has to be an authentic recipe! I've seen where Brits will get some recipe that's from something like a chef in California that is his "take" on something, but is not at all normal, and they end up disappointed.
It would be like if they found a gluten free "biscuit" with soy-sausage "gravy", making it, thinking it's horrible and thinking that's typical of biscuits and gravy!
I would sure hope so, we in America love to see the uk open their eyes to new experiences.
Great video. Back in the 90's there was a little breakfast cafe near my home in Las Vegas, their specialty was Biscuits and Gravy. They would serve it Biscuits and Gravy or Fried Potatoes and Gravy or Half and Half, half biscuits and half fried potatoes covered in Sausage Gravy. Yum. Great hangover food. Have a wonderful day
If you guys make southern biscuits, use a recipe that calls for buttermilk. It adds a depth of savory flavor like sourdough and makes the fluffiest biscuits on earth.
Also, iced tea down here in the south is almost always served pre-sweetened with unsweetened as an option.
Sugar levels very WILDLY and range from "sweet" to "geneticly inherited diabetes", so if you ever visit, don't be afraid to try, but also don't be afraid to ask for a glass of unsweet to cut the sugar levels down or "half and half".
A good biscuit is a bit buttery and soft and flaky to the point that if you just want to put jam on a biscuit, it pulls apart easily…but combined with sausage gravy, it becomes a bit of heaven…
It's quite easy to make. Easily done at home.
Biscuits are supper easy , flour cold butter baking powder salt sugar mix it just till it comes together then roll it out with rolling pin and cut the biscuits brush the tops with butter and bake in oven
I mean, we have scones and biscuits. The fact that we don’t call them both the same thing should lend some insight into how different they are.
Sweet tea is just a different name for tea with sugar in it. But the phrase we T does have one specific requirement. And that is that you put the sugar into the tea while it is still hot after being brewed. Where is what we call ice tea? The sugar is added to it by the glass. Before you drink it, thus given the person who's going to drink it. The ability to put the amount of sugar they want in it. Either a little or a lot. Where a sweet tea is usually sweetened. While it's hot and the whole kettle, it's done the same amount. So every glass tastes the same.
Sweet tea is delicious but not more delicious than iced tea. When giving up the ability to sweeten it. The amount you want. So I always prefer ice tea. So I can use the amount of sugar that satisfies me. And of course with iced tea. You normally are squeezing a wedge of lemon into it with the sugar. Sweet tea is usually just sweetened with the sugar only.
The rank, chopped up ferret vomit kid was a strange cat. A bit over the top.
But at least he liked the sweet tea 😂
My guess why beans on toast came about is the rationing that went on due to the war. Rationing meat in England ended in the 1950’s and beans are a protein substitute.
You both have done well reacting to this JOLLY video. I think at this point Josh and Ollie may have already completed their visit to America at one of our Southern states Georgia, where they tried biscuits and gravy for the first time, you are welcome to watch it on your own time or react to it if you wish to and you will also see how uncompilable they really are. it's called: Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time! American biscuits are lightly crispy on the outside (Not supposed to be crunchy) and soft on the inside buttery and savory. Sausage gravy when made properly is so good and then paired with biscuits is fantastic. Biscuits are also enjoyed without the gravy, they can be enjoyed with Jam, jelly, and fruit preserves we have all three, just spread a little bit of butter first then spread on your Jelly, jam or fruit preserves on top and enjoy. If you ever make a trip to the America, may I suggest you try them in a true Southern state, not every state in America will have authentic Southern Biscuits. I enjoyed this video reaction! Peace. ☮
I will give the kids the credit on this one. Biscuits and gravy don't actually look too appealing but they do taste fantastic.
❤ You two are genuine, honest, funny, sincere; like spending time with family. Wonderful reaction.
Thank you for the lovely comment! ❤
I love tea (hot, iced tea with no sugar, sweet tea, sun tea). Just as with hot tea, you can change the sweetness to your preferences.
TY I think the first I saw and the one of theirs that connected me was about kids and Popeyes chicken.
When it is 105 outside, you don't want hot tea. We drink iced tea by the gallons, there is nothing more refreshing. It really quenches!😀
here in Alaska we have a couple of soft eggs over it as well, with a few drops of franks hot sauce.....
good breakfast on really cold days
Love your reactions! Great video! Yes! Southern sweet tea is very delicious but SUPER sugary! I’m a mild diabetic so I stick with unsweetened iced tea with lemon! Very refreshing in the hot months!
I’m from NC and I’ve eaten beans on toast my whole life. ( I’m currently 44) 😂
I love sausage biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs with picante sauce and a glass of milk.
It's a great breakfast.
Sounds great!
I love that three donkey painting in your background! It's too cute!
Here in the US South West and South we have another version of tea. We call it Sun Tea and it's regular tea but instead of boiling it in a pot or pan, you put the ingredients in a large glass jar, seal it and set it out in the sun (the hotter the better0 and let the sun cook it. It prevents the tea from picking up the metallic taste of the pot and is amazingly good. It might not be practical in a country where it's more frequently cloudy/rainy - like England. but if you get a day or two of clear sunshine, you might try it.
Take a biscuit, open it up and lay it flat, place scrambled eggs on top, cover the whole thing with sausage gravy. That is the perfect breakfast.
Jolly also has a couple of videos from their US travels trying bisquits and gravy.
Iced tea is very refreshing on a hot day.
i have to get the picture of the donkeys. I keep meaning to mention it, it's so awesome!
What you call a biscuit, we call a cracker. What you call chips, we call French fries. We both call a cookie, a cookie.
When I think of French fries, I'm immediately thinking of McDonalds style chips. Chips for us covers French fries but also steak cut, chunky, curly and any other variations - is that the same for you guys?
French fries or fries covers all the different kinds. McDonald’s style or slightly thicker are the archetypal just plain fries.
@@AliKaiProject We call steak fries ,steak fries curly fries curly fries,we also have a thin fry called shoe string fries and a crinkle cut fry,then there’s the round crinkle cut called waffle fries.We also have potato wedges that are anything from a quarter of a potato to 6 or 8 pieces cut from potato but all have a skin side left on.We also have an appetizer called potato skins,usually about a quarter inch of potato left on skin then deep fried add cheese,sour cream,chives ,bacon bits one of my favorites.
@@AliKaiProject steak fries are become rare thank sweet baby cheezus. They are a terrible side to a steak.
@@steveyork8069
Don’t forget, waffle fries!
Put that good sausage gravy on biscuits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, ( shredded potatoes fried in a pile is hash browns) toast, and one of my personal favorites pancakes.
Most people can easily make biscuits and gravy with common household items. Butter, Flour, Milk, and just a few other ingredients.
I can describe the gravy here.
Ingredients:
Turn stove to medium or just a touch under.
Flour 60ml
Butter or pan drippings 60 ml
Milk (full fat/whole) 480ml
Salt and Pepper
In a pan melt the butter then add flour
Stir quite often until flour is noticeably darker (light brown is best, it;’s hard to to get it completely wrong).
After flour is dark add milk.
Stir often add salt and pepper to taste. Always add more pepper than you think it needs (I once added 100 twists and it was not too much.
Important Note: Don’t walk away from this dish until you are sure it can take the heat without boiling over. If it does boil over find a temperature weee it simmers without boiling over. When it starts to thicken stir even more often or you might get sticking.
Even if some does stick to the bottom just pour off what doesn’t stick and it should taste terrific.
For the sausage gravy version just make enough sausage to make 60ml of drippings and then add flour etc. You can add more sausage when the gravy is done.
This is fantastic with American biscuits of course, but also incredible over any white rice from sushi rice to basmati.
Bon Appetit.
Amazing, thank you!
The beans yall put on toast, we dont have. We have a product that looks exactly like it but tastes completely different. Same is true for you an our breakfast sausage. Ours is pork, a lot of sage, some brown sugar, salt an pepper.
I know this video is 1 month ago.. but my first time watching you two/your channel.. As an American :) ... GREAT REACTION!!!! I am now subscribed.. and I am now going to binge your videos!! I can't wait!! Ready for more!!
We're glad you enjoyed it! We'll make it ourselves eventually and that should be.. an interesting process. 😂Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! ❤
@@AliKaiProject I can't wait for you two to come visit!! You will NOT want to leave! lol :)
you can have also have biscuits with jam or honey or just butter
I've had scones, and while superficially they may look similar on the outside, they're definitely different. An american biscuit is lighter and fluffier and less dense. And not usually sweet on its own. People either have them with sausage gravy or spread with butter and jam or honey. Or they're often served with stews, to sop up the gravy.
a more interesting way to describe American biscuits is think how a croissant is so light buttery and flaky, biscuits are crunchy outside and soft buttery inside
The headmaster in there is good friends with Josh (guy with the hat on) from Jolly. The headmaster even went to Korea with Josh and Olly on there other channel called the Korean Englishman. Jolly has other video reactions where the same High Schoolers try Popeye's, Wendy's and Taco Bell to get the kids reactions to those foods.
We'll check them out, thank you for the suggestion!
Biscuits do look a lot like scones. But they are savory, and they are a lot lighter and fluffier. The gravy is sort of like a bechamel with sausage in it. I am not a fan of sweet iced tea. I do like iced tea though if it's unsweet.
White gravy is easy, equal parts flour+oil (oil/butter/bacon or sausage fat/lard/whatever works for you)+water or milk..
Scones, apparently, are made with SUGAR in the dough - biscuits are not. They are a more savory bread....the gravy is made from a roux (equal parts, basically, of a fat - i.e., butter, meat grease - and flour....cooked to a light brown hue), then milk or water is added and most people would add bulk / ground cooked sausage to it (that's what looks "lumpy" - the gravy, by itself, should not be lumpy)....THEY ARE HEAVEN!!!
The lumpiness in the gravy, wh8ch is defined as a covering sauce, so the headmaster, or whoever that adult was, is correct, comes from the sausage chunks in it. White gravy without the sausage chunks is still flavored from sausage grease, but is just the white gravy itself, and it called Country Gravy or Sawmill Gravy. And it's used on mashed pototatoes, country fried steak or chicken, and like these kids found out, it goes extremely well with fried chicken. Many restaurants that serve chicken strips/planks will have country gravy as an optional dipping sauce and it's really quite good as the children discovered.
White country or sausage gravy is made by cooking up ground sausage meat in a skillet, adding flour and milk to it until you get the consistency you want. The more milk you add, the runnier it will be. You kinda want it a bit runny, but not too much. The way they had it here was pretty much spot on. Maybe a tad bit more milk, but that was pretty close to perfect.
But you can make gravy from any grease or broth from any meat you're cooking. You just basically add flour to the grease of the meat or broth and there ya go.
I've noticed in a lot of Brit reactions, if there are "lumps" in something they immediately call it "veg"!
@@RogCBrandthey also said all white sauce to them is mayo. so maybe they eat vegetables soaked in mayo?????
@@nullakjg767 LOL! True, they seem to have such a limited variety, so they see something and they'll often only have one reference to that!
I remember one video where they assume our fruit salads are swimming in mayo, when it's whipped cream or cool-whip, so I think you're onto something!
Unless you have tasted it, then don’t knock it. If done correctly,it’s simply marvelous.
I really enjoy Jolly's content. It's probably my favorite channel. They do an excellent job.
They’re really good at what they do. 😃
We have brown gravy in America as well, beef or chicken gravy is brown, the sausage gravy is a cream gravy.
At our local ice cream shop we can get chicken strips with this gravy too. It’s my favorite way to eat them.
The diffference between scones and american biscuits may seem miniscule in appearance but in taste it can vary widely depending upon preperation. Biscuits tend to have a large ammount of butter mixed into the dough which add to the flavor. Likewise ones idea of gravy can vary but when you get down to the brass tacks it is a meat juice a flour thickener and a thinner be it water or milk then it is seasoning. fried chicken however is all about the coating and seasons. Proper iced tea in the southern usa is a sweet tea made from a black pekoe tea made quite strong then thinned by half with water and ice and sweetened with a good ammount of sugar and a few slices of lemon.
To be quite fair and honest, We don't always pair it with sausage gravy.
Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish.
However, biscuits can be had in the morning at lunch or at dinner time... Breaking them in half and putting an nice pat of butter on them! And if you do have them for breakfast you can add jam or jelly...
At least that's how we do it in the South
And I've also made my own clotted cream and I've made scones both cranberry with orange zest and also blueberry and lemon... They're not as soft as biscuits on the inside... But I do like the subtle sweetness they give
Gotta agree with the one kid, I've drank my share of brown gravy a few times. I'm not throwing out perfectly good leftover gravy.😂
I've certainly chugged some of our gravy when it's made with a fresh roast joint's meat juice!
Iced tea is my warm weather staple
We have scones in America...Scones is not just a British thing.....Yes, they look like Scones, but that is where the similarity ends. Two completely different food.
I love this reaction and their honesty. I agree that the gravy looks like vomit, but it is delicious. It is very rich/fattening so I only have it about twice a year. As for the tea, there are different types of iced tea (not counting flavored teas). Unsweetened, which is too bitter for my taste; sweet tea, which is sickeningly sweet; and then there's iced tea with a combination of sugar and lemon juice. Hopefully you get to try the "fake scones" (my favorite line from this video) soon. Thanks for a great reaction! 😀
“Your food is weird and nice” thank you as Americans that is kinda what we go for😊❤
😂😂
I feel like we need Brits to show us Americans how to make proper beans on toast.
There’s really not much too it, toasted bread (ours is wheat flour and not sweet) with a good amount of butter to soften it then warm baked beans (in sweet tomato sauce) on top amount doesn’t matter but 1/4 to half a tin per slice would be a good amount. 😃
Watch: Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time!
To see what you can eat with them.
I drink iced tea, but without sugar. Don't get me wrong, I love sweeten iced tea & grew up drinking it, but it's healthier without sugar.
I'm the same. My family made lots of sun tea when I was growing up and having a sweet tooth I'd add plenty of sugar, but now I either drink it unsweetened, or sometimes with a bit of lemonade or cran-raspberry juice.
As an American.. beans a toast isn’t baffling to me at all. I like both so why not?
The reason the gravy is lumpy is because it has sausage bits.
Now back around 30 40 yrs ago you couldn't get the right ingredients to make great sausage gravy in all of America. But I think it has changed now with our Mega-grocery store chains such as Walmart and Homeland grocery to name a very few of a wide variety of grocers nationwide. To make great sausage gravy you need to buy 'Hot' sausage usually prolific in the south under brands like Jimmy Deans or Potter's among others. But you procure one of those brands of breakfast sausage in the HOT variety and you cook it in a skillet til it looks cooked on both sides, Usually about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Now you crumble it up in a dish and have it waiting til you start making the gravy. With the grease that is in the frying pan you add some white flour AND STIR IT AROUND THE PAN SO THAT IT SOAKS UP THE GREASE. Once that flour is saturated with the grease and I mean all the grease is absorbed, you salt and Black pepper it a bit. and stir that spices in to the grease absorbed flour. Mind you the heat is still on under the frying pan as you do this. Now gradually add whole milk and stir as you add the milk ( somewhere between a cup or two) til there are no flour bumps in the gravy. The gravy should be thickening up quite a bit now then add your sausage bits in the gravy and taste the gray. If it needs more salt or pepper go ahead and add more to taste. And it's ready to serve over biscuits.
Maybe you should find some recipes online to make some homemade biscuits (American style) and a Sausage gravy recipe and do a video of if as well as Southern style iced sweet tea ..
Y'all don't have to wait to come to USA to try BG the ingredients are pretty simple. The only issue is obtaining summer quality breakfast sausage. When I was in the UK I would buy some ground pork and summer spices and make my own. There are plenty of recipes online. Maybe y'all could make a video making BG and put it on the channel.
If we make it, we'll definitely attempt to record it.
Exactly! Our breakfast sausage has a good bit of sage and some level of cayenne pepper to give it plenty of flavor and spicy kick. I think if they just used the typical British sausage it would lack a lot of flavor.
@@RogCBrand even a lack of meat😳😳😂. Yeah it's pretty simple to make with a good recipe.
Whenever you come to the States, more so in the south, try biscuits with a jelly or jam in the middle. That is heaven to me. I personally love strawberry jelly in the biscuit. Cracker Barrel (sit down restaurant) and Hardee's (fast food) tend to have the best biscuits, especially Cracker Barrel. McDonald's biscuits are too crumbly - they're a mess.
We have had beans on toast when I was a kid and the larder was short at the end of the month. It was good.
Love that comment!
Brown gravy is really good on biscuits too.
