AUSSIE MAKES BISCUITS & GRAVY FOR THE FIRST TIME 

i had to walk out of my room and close the door to give this man some privacy...

First time I've ever seen someone who's not had the dish before make biscuits and gravy that would be passable on a typical southern table. So well done.

As a girl raised in the south, you don't realize how lucky you are until you see a non-southern react to our food.

I've lived in the Southern US all of my life, this meal was eaten daily at my house growing up and even after 30 years of marriage....this is a staple! You made us Southern folk proud. Great video!

I've seen multiple reactions from non-Americans trying to make biscuits and gravy. This is the only one that truly looks like proper southern made. Great job.

It's very odd to feel like a proud father watching his children when witnessing a grown man make beautiful ass biscuits

I'm so used to seeing videos of non-americans trying regional american food, and whoever provides it gets it wrong. However, You Sir, NAILED IT! Congratulations!

The magic of southern cooking will make a grown man cry.

Finally! Someone got it right! I literally put my phone down and applauded, I was so proud and happy. I almost shed a tear seeing your reaction and I kept saying "Yes. This is how you do biscuits and gravy. "

As a Southern Girl, I wholeheartedly approve of this review. ♥️

Fortunately, Americans can just buy tins of biscuits at any grocery store! Sausage is always homemade!

Finally someone does it right! This southern Mom is proud of you.

I always love seeing non southerners reactions to real biscuits and gravy. They're the very definition of comfort food. Its impossible to not be happy while enjoying fresh and properly made biscuits and gravy.

As someone from the South Eastern US, I started watching this with so much skepticism. But the technique was absolutely flawless every step of the way for the biscuits and the gravy. Well done Sir!

This video has restored my faith in the internet. As a Southerner watching this gentleman across the world enjoying such a humble meal with this much pleasure…it has made my day.

Great job... as a Southern woman I rate this a 10 out of 10. You did everything exactly how it's meant to be made. I watched quite a few of these videos and none had it completely right to our Southern standards. You nailed it.

Your biscuits looked perfect! I'm honestly impressed. Biscuits and Gravy belong in the American food hall of fame. The smile on your face when you had your first bite made my day. 😁

I'm 65, American and a farm-girl ... Raised on biscuits and gravy - Breakfast and Supper - Anytime you need a hot, comforting meal guaranteed to warm your very soul ...Love to serve it with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes ..... Loved your reaction - Made me smile !!

You know something is good when you first taste it and start to laugh. Glad you enjoyed it!

It's low key kind of amazing that cultures with the same basic ingredients can end up making dishes the other has never had before.

I'm SO proud of you! You didn't even cheat by using ready to cook biscuits - you made them from scratch! I'm from the southern US and we love our biscuits and gravy - sometimes have them for dinner with eggs and diced fried potatoes and onions. Just crumble the biscuits, add the rest topped with gravy and you have a bowl of delicious goodness! 10 STARS for you!

Now for the ultimate breakfast. Layer biscuits, crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs, then gravy on top. And a side of bacon. HEAVEN!!

While watching you cook, I was like Ok, biscuit preperation looks good, hopefully it comes out right, and they came out perfect. Then you were making the gravy, and I was like ok preperation looks good, hope he makes it thick and not runny, and again, perfection. Welcome to Southern comfort food.

My mom wanted to know what I wanted for my first “home cooked meal” when I got home from the Army in 1972. I told her biscuits and gravy, sliced and fried potatoes, sausage patty, corn, and strong brewed sweet tea. Meal fit for a king

Texan here! Watching you cook, every step of the way, I was going “Yep. Yep. Mm-hm.” The end result looked _perfect._ Easily the most faithful first real stab at Biscuits and Gravy I’ve seen on the Internet-you did great work!

You are the first non-American that I've seen make the biscuits correctly. They look perfect. I'm from the Great Lakes, so biscuits and gravy aren't really our thing, but so glad you loved them. They are a staple in the South.

This is my 1st video to watch of you and as us Americans say "You hit it out of the park!" OMG You cooked those just like my Momma taught me! Great job!

NOW! You know what GOOD biscuits and gravy taste like. They are a life changer. I imagine you also now understand why Americans LOVE good biscuits and gravy. 😊

What a reaction!! Seems like a religious experience happening here. Quite honestly he did a great job making everything pretty authentically. Somebody should go down and to Australia and open a southern restaurant. ♥

I don't care where you grew up, proper biscuits and gravy will make you feel like you're sitting in your momma's kitchen, and your granny's giving you a hug at the same time!

Welcome to southern cooking my man. The smile with your first bite is why people eat biscuits and gravy. It is heart warming and great comfort food. It just makes you feel good. If you get it then you know. The look on your face says you know. Cheers m8 from the US.

Seems most non-Americans think it's so strange, then when they try it, they say, "Ok, I get it." 😂

I hope you really enjoyed it as much as you appeared to. Incidentally, you did amazingly well with the biscuits. They looked perfect and it’s not as easy as it looks.

THANK YOU! You are the first person I’ve watched make actual southern biscuits and gravy and not just some rock hard flatbread. These are legit biscuits, great job!

excellent job! first non American i've seen make it properly. that could easily of been the same plate my grandmother made for me as a kid. you earned a new subscriber today

Hi! Allen here. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. We put pepper in that gravy, just so ya know. So if ya think it's good now....

I´m so glad that you enjoyed it. Coming from East Texas biscuits and gravy were a staple in our house growing up and still is today in my house. For some reason it was always Dad´s job to make them on Saturday´s and he would always use spicy breakfast sausage. As kids we always wanted one biscuit covered in gravy and one warm biscuit right out of the oven with butter and homemade jelly. Yum!!!!

It was the first taste and look of absolute ecstasy for me. That's when you know you did it right.

This is almost the exact way that my mom makes biscuits and gravy. I was born and raised in Georgia, and this is the best example I have seen of a foreigner making our classic comfort breakfast. You absolutely nailed it. I am so glad you enjoyed it.

That biscuits and gravy would make a Southern man proud

Oh my goodness i have watched so many people from other countries try to make sausage gravy and biscuits and i always cringe but you sir have done it WELL! As a woman from South Carolina i applaud your skills and palate!!!

You did great. The biscuits looked perfect as did the gravy. You made it exactly right lol. The first time! I've been making this for over 35 years and it's a regular for breakfast for us. Your biscuits looked perfect. A lot of people struggle with homemade biscuits but you've got a knack for it. Well done honey! I'm impressed.

I absolutely love see people who’ve never had biscuits and gravy experience it for the first time. 😊😊😊. Welcome to the Soul of the South.

American Yankee with a Southern Soul Food loving Soul...I just learned three things I am doing wrong making my bisciuts and why they never turned out right. Thank you for doing your homework and having such a great network of viewers.

My favorite dish. Native Texan here. First of all, the biscuits looked perfect. Next, you obviously had the perfect ratio of flour to milk because the gravy thickened up beautifully. I must admit my mouth was watering.

We'll make a southerner out if you yet. We grew up on that. Now you need to try fried catfish and hush puppies.

As a southerner one of the things we can't explain is why it's called "soul food". It can't be explained and has to be experienced. It's always great to see someone when they experience it and fully understand what that means.

I love seeing people try this for the first time. Its like a hug in food form and everyone needs a hug

Maybe it's a regional thing, but where I grew up, biscuits were made by folding them as little as possible after adding all the ingredients. We didn't go for flaky layers but pillowy soft buttery goodness. Still, those biscuits did look pretty dang good!

Now THAT looks like what Biscuits and Gravy should taste like. I like mine with a bit more pepper or Tabasco to give it a 'kick'. Well done mate. Be sure to share with friends and family. There is so much more for you to explore. Welcome to a southern breakfast.

Ahh, just warms my heart to watch someone experiencing the bliss of comfort food. It’s like being a little child again, being wrapped up in your favorite blanket on a chilly day, while your mother holds you on her lap, rocking you in a rocking chair. Isn’t it funny how this is such a thing now, watching people eat food you personally love? If we could go back in time decades ago and tell ourselves we’d watch videos of cats, and people trying food. Lol Oh well, I still love it!

as someone from Mississippi USA, I absolutely love watching people's faces light up when they try any of our food for the first time lol.

Those biscuits are superb with jelly/jam/preserves.

This looks perfect! It annoys me when I see people NOT open the biscuit before they put the gravy on it ! You did a great job on this !!

Very well done!!...for those who do not have buttermilk, just add a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to one cup of milk and let it set for 5 minutes and it will be just like using buttermilk.

The first time eating biscuits and gravy is definitely one of those things that makes you question all of your life decisions and why you never had it sooner

We need to get this man to Waffle House at 3am after a few drinks. He'll never be the same.

For something so simple, biscuits & gravy are amazing

I'm convinced the reason most people outside the southern US don't like breakfast gravy is because they've never had it made right. If your gravy is white, you made it wrong. If your sausage isn't browned to at least partially crispy, you made it wrong. Fry up bacon, sausage, or fried chicken, reserve 2-3 tablespoons of the fry oil. Lower the heat on the fry oil so it doesn't burn but keep it hot. Sprinkle in the flour and stir it around while you fry off the moisture in the flour, the roux should get to at least a chestnut color. Add the milk a bit at a time and stir it in until it's a liquid and not a paste, then pour in the rest while you stir. Once the gravy begins to thicken, salt and pepper to taste, and I lean heavy on the freshly ground black pepper. The best gravy is made with hot (spicy) breakfast sausage. I prefer to fry them round and make sure they have a crust on them like a good steak. Then use the oil the sausage was fried in to make the gravy.

Yep. You're wondering how something so simple can taste soooo good. Well done!

Indiana guy here. Midwesterners love biscuits and gravy too! These looked proper, great job mate!😊

As a native to the southern USA, I watched you cook everything closely, you did good, glad you liked our little breakfast. Keep that recipe in the pocket for friends and family. The biscuits are multi purpose for breakfast, and the gravy, if you use instead of sausage, butter or just bacon grease, and make just a smooth gravy it goes great on mashed potatoes and fried chicken, and chicken fried streak.

Can I just say it is pure pleasure, as a southerner, to watch this dish go even further south and be so enjoyed. Those biscuits you baked up would make any southerner happy. Good job!

Optional gravy ingredients: diced onion, red pepper flakes.

Being from Alabama, let me just say I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed this as much as we of the Southern states do. Have a great day!! ❤❤❤

I am IMPRESSED. You made them PERFECTLY.

As a "born and raised" southerner, this has been a breakfast staple, all of my 61 years! My wife makes biscuit gravy TO DIE FOR! It does my heart good to see your reaction.

You did such a good job with the biscuits, so great to see your reaction 😊

So so so so proud of you for making the biscuits correctly!! So many people don't sift the flour, and it's just too important. The cold butter is key, and you did the folding perfectly. You are a GRAMMA!! You are honorarily one of us now. Thank you for making my day.

Thank you Lyle. See, not every American food is a crazy idea. This is definitely a staple in my family. Yumyum

As a lifelong Southerner, I approve of this video. Well done sir!

This makes me so happy. A couple notes on your biscuit making: The enemy of biscuits is stretched gluten, so use a flour made from soft winter wheat if available. Basically you want the opposite of what you'd want in a flour you'd use for making pizza. Also, never use a rolling pin to work the dough. Press it down with your hands, then fold. Repeat exactly five times. If you want your biscuits uniform, use a cold plate. Just anything to avoid stretching.

Being a Southerner (born and raised in Mississippi), biscuits and gravy have always been staples. Although I will admit that I have never been able to make biscuits like yours, I *will be trying your recipe. You may have taught this old dog a new trick! Glad you enjoyed them!

Loved your reaction! Being an old southern woman, I'm so glad you enjoyed one of our staples. Keep up the good work!

Watching you try the biscuits n gravy I could see the southern hidden inside you coming out as that meal touched your soul!

I'm glad he gave the recipe a second chance and enjoyed the dish as much as we do 😊. Bonus points for not debating the American use of the word biscuit 😂😊

I have to say how impressed I am with your biscuits. I've seen so many non-American's make biscuits that don't even resemble biscuits. It's all in the layers... and the butter. You did such a good job & I have faith that what you made is authentic. I can tell by the look on your face. Lol! Loved this video (and the music).

Now we know that our Old South cooking has finally reached our mates in Australia. It was heart warming to watch your reaction.

5:26 he finally tasted happiness 😊

Just one note; we typically add A LOT of pepper to the gravy. Great job!

My mom would make this when I was young. Some times she wouldn't wouldn't have sausage. She would use a spoonful or two of bacon drippings as the fat to thicken the gravy. In the summer when hot peppers were ripening, in our garden, she would dice a few of them and cook them with the gravy. Thin sliced dried beef also is top notch choice. P.S. Strawberry jam on a biscuit is out of this world!!!

Hahaha. Your face the moment u tried the biskies. That's how I feel every time. It makes the world seem right when something so easy to make, tastes so good.

As a southerner in the US who has been making these and eating these since I was old enough to consume solid food, GOOD JOB making that. A lot, well, MOST of the vids I see where someone not from the Southern US that tries to make this dish will almost always do it wrong, and as a person from the aria where this dish originated from, let me tell you, it is easy to see the mistakes that are made. You sir did your research, and those biscuits would have made my grandmother proud. The gravy, spot on. You really did not need the cream, milk alone is fine, but that sir is the real deal. Good Job!

5:28 Whenever I need a mood lifter, I come back to this reaction 👍🏼

LMAO.... Glad your tummy is happy! You can't go wrong with biscuits and gravy.

Please do this American a kindness and share this with fellow Aussies!

Those biscuits were the definition of perfection. My momma would high five you. Great gravy too! Looks like what I grew up on man. Excellent!

Oh my God, that look of pure joy after the first bite... that was incredible. I don't think I've ever seen such an obviously sincere reaction.

Those were some stellar looking biscuits. You did such a great job on them. Biscuits are deceptively hard, looks easy, but there's a lot of ways to go wrong and you nailed it.

I truly enjoyed that smile after the first bite. You had me smiling all the way through !!! So glad you liked our biscuits and sausage gravy. We have a traditional big breakfast Christmas morning after we open presents. My son-in-law always makes his great sausage gravy to go with the biscuits and bacon, eggs and hash browns. Will be here for your Home Free reactions, I never miss a single one !!

You know it's damn good if you get a couple tears escaping from a straight face....then the face melt shortly after.

Biscuits and gravy are like a warm hug.

My grandma and mom and all my aunties could make amazing biscuits. Mine turn out like hockey pucks. I'm so jealous that your first try came out so beautifully.

Hell Yea! You done a great Job! Nothing better than Biscuits and Gravy!

As a USA Southerner, it always does my heart good to see someone experience this Southern-style comfort food for the first time! Glad to see you enjoy it!

Those looked like proper Southern biscuits! Its quite difficult for a foreigner to make good Southern biscuits and gravy, if they've never had the real thing before.

So simple, but so good; the kind of meal that may not be the healthiest, but it sure does feed your soul. This has been one of my favorite breakfasts for longer than I can remember. It's so nice seeing someone else enjoy it for the first time- especially since you clearly loved it!

Someone so simple but satisfying! Some people call it poor mans food lol they have no idea it's so good!

Biscuits and Gravy is an American tradition almost as old as America itself. It's a meal every class of person has eaten too, but was especially common among the poor as it was a very cheap meal to make and remained so through most of America' s history. My grandparents used to talk about eating it on the regular growing up in the depression, and even my father talks about it and SOS - a sort of variation on it - as he grew up not so wealthy himself. I grew up eating it because my dad would make it all the time lol, so it's a comfort food for me. It made me so happy to see you enjoy it as much as I always do. Cheers!

I like it with bacon sometimes too instead of sausage. Growing up when we didn't have a lot of money mom would take potatoes and dice them up and toss them with some flour and salt and pepper and fry them. When the potatoes were brown she would put them on a paper towel and use the grease from the fried potatoes to make gravy. Scrambled or fried eggs are good as a side dish.
