Buttermilk Biscuit Day celebrates the Southern original quick bread made with buttermilk, eggs, flour, and baking powder. Biscuits (American style) were considered a treat before the American Civil War and later an expediency. They were popularized throughout the country via Kentucky Fried Chicken in the 1950s.
Biscuits and gravy is a traditional American breakfast consisting of buttermilk or flour biscuits drenched in white gravy with pork sausage. It can also be made with other meats; however, pork is the tradition.
Relatively inexpensive, this dense, flavorful breakfast provided substantial energy for people during the day. Until recently, large breakfasts were a necessity, and people worked in labor-intensive jobs, and many of the modern conveniences available today replace tasks that required brawn.
The dish traces its roots to the Jamestown colony in the United States and became very popular during the American Revolution. It remains a favorite in the United States, especially in the southern region.
Today, biscuits and gravy, due to its high energy and fat content, is a "treat" breakfast beloved by millions (including this writer!).
