      It’s a breakfast dish from the southeastern US. Like many of our dishes, it’s just a way to stretch calories using cheap ingredients. You cook a few pieces of sausage in a skillet then use the oil, some butter, and flour to make a light roux which you break up the sausage into. Serve gravy over southern style biscuits.

        I mean the name is pretty self explanatory, I have never had them but wasn’t confused. Do you know what biskets are? Do you know what gravy is?

          Yeah I know what a biscuit is. Is what Americans call cookies, that’s not what’s pictured apparently contains sausage which in the matrix space of "what is a cookie* is off on a distant planet in another galaxy.

          Biscuits are stuff like digestives, or jammy dodgers or bourbon biscuits. Gravy is bistro granules.

          Scones are what they’re called.

            I mean that’s just one form of gravy, you can use any gravy really. The pictured gravy is more popular in southern states, I think it has sausage in it and I am not sure what the base is, probably like a milk roux.
