- Hey y'all.
0:01
I'm in the kitchen with my new friend, Dana,
0:04
and she just got through making us biscuits.
0:08
Well, you know, down here
0:10
we love good gravy on top of our biscuits.
0:14
So that's what she's gonna share with us next.
0:17
And make sure on the biscuit video of hers
0:22
that you watch it 'cause it's out of this world.
0:25
Out of this world, y'all.
0:26
So Dana, you, what have you got?
0:29
- I have got a surprise for Paula.
0:31
I'm from the great state of Alabama
0:34
and we love Miss Paula in Alabama.
0:37
And this is from Sweet Grown Alabama.
0:40
So all of these things in here are from Alabama companies
0:43
and were made with Sweet Grown.
0:47
We have something called sweetgrownalabama.org
0:50
and you get on there and you find
0:51
where are the local of strawberries, the beef,
0:54
the flowers, whatever you're looking for,
0:56
the cornmeal, the honey,
0:58
you can find all locally grown products
1:02
when you're in Alabama.
1:03
- Wow. - Just by looking
1:04
@sweetgrownalabama.org.
1:06
- All right, you fixing to make some sausage and gravy?
1:09
- We're gonna make some sausage gravy.
1:11
- [Paula] To go with those ugly biscuits.
1:13
- To go with the ugly biscuits.
1:14
- They are so beautiful.
1:15
- That's right.
1:16
You wanna get me turned on here?
1:17
- Yes, I'll turn you on. - There we go.
1:21
All right, what we're gonna need.
1:22
- It turned on. - We are on.
1:23
- Are you hot enough?
1:25
- We are hot.
1:25
We just needed that medium high.
1:27
- About medium high. - Yeah.
1:28
- Okay, there you go.
1:29
- Okay, we're gonna make some sausage gravy.
1:32
This recipe has been in David's family
1:34
for multiple generations,
1:35
and it's the highlight of our year.
1:38
Every Thanksgiving, the day after, we have this gravy.
1:41
So we don't make it
1:43
for the day after. - Why?
1:44
- Well that's just what we do because we're starving.
1:46
We're starving the day after.
1:48
- Thanksgiving is (indistinct).
1:50
- This is just the day that David's grandmother
1:53
wanted to make it for us. - Okay.
1:54
- And so anybody that was still at the place.
1:57
- See, I love traditions like this.
1:59
- Yes.
1:59
- They'll always be special to y'all.
2:02
- Yes they are.
2:03
- Dana is frying up one pound
2:06
of breakfast sausage. - Yes.
2:08
- And she's gonna get that done.
2:11
And there's not much fat in that sausage, is it?
2:13
- No, there's not.
2:14
We're gonna add some to this.
2:17
- Yeah, yeah.
2:19
I'm glad that it's not just a hint of grease.
2:22
- Right, it's not.
2:23
And see sometimes when you get it is,
2:26
and you have to take some of that.
2:27
- Yeah. - Have to take some of it out.
2:30
Well the next step. - What're you gonna do now?
2:32
- I need some bacon grease, bacon grease.
2:35
- [Paula] Okay. - [Dana] All right.
2:36
This is a half a cup of bacon grease and I'm not kidding.
2:39
It's a half a cup of bacon grease.
2:40
And we're gonna put it in here, yeah.
2:44
Now we might use a little less if you still want to.
2:47
- No, no, no.
2:48
This is your recipe, mama. - Okay, y'all,
2:49
it gives it a good smokey flavor.
2:51
- Yeah.
2:52
- And there we go.
2:53
A half a cup of bacon grease.
2:54
Now look, if you don't wanna add the bacon grease,
2:58
you don't have to, but you are gonna need
2:59
some kind of grease in here.
3:01
Okay, so here we go.
3:03
- Here we go. - See what's happening?
3:06
- So much for lean sausage.
3:08
- Oh yes.
3:09
We took care of that, didn't we?
3:11
- Yeah, we took care of that.
3:12
- Now, the next thing we're gonna need is the flour.
3:15
And I've got half a cup of flour.
3:17
- Okay.
3:17
You're going to use a whole half a cup?
3:19
- I'm gonna use it.
3:19
We're gonna stir this in here
3:21
and make our roux for the gravy.
3:22
Y'all ready?
3:23
- We ready.
3:24
- [Dana] We ready.
3:26
And y'all, this is how easy gravy is to make
3:28
and a lot of people don't know this though.
3:31
- [Paula] You can have a hard time making gravy.
3:33
- Yeah, they can.
3:34
And you just go watch your granny
3:36
or mother make it if they know how.
3:39
Or heck get in, go watch Paula make it.
3:41
She's made it on her show so many times.
3:43
- So you're just gonna have to fry up plenty of bacon.
3:45
- Plenty of bacon.
3:46
- Have a half a cup of bacon grease.
3:48
- I know.
3:49
And this is gonna let you cook a little.
3:51
Let this cook. - Uh-huh.
3:53
- Let it simmer a little. - Looks delicious.
3:55
- And then we're gonna start adding
3:57
one of the secret ingredients that's been around
3:59
for a long time and it's evaporated milk.
4:02
So I've got about one.
4:05
- This is so good in macaroni and cheese.
4:07
- Oh yeah.
4:08
It makes it so creamy.
4:09
- Well, I think we opened two of the small cans.
4:12
- Yes, two of the small cans.
4:13
- So you wanna start adding this?
4:15
- Yes ma'am, please.
4:16
And now this is gonna make a very creamy,
4:18
creamy, creamy gravy.
4:21
- [Paula] Have you ever used this
4:22
in your macaroni and cheese?
4:24
- Yes, I use this in a lot of stuff.
4:26
It's a great secret.
4:27
Now we're gonna need, probably we're gonna look at this
4:30
and see how it is, but y'all
4:31
know how when you're eyeballing gravy,
4:33
I'm gonna need some water as well.
4:35
- Okay. - I need to turn
4:36
that down just a little bit.
4:37
Y'all, this is gonna thicken up
4:38
and we're gonna have to salt and pepper it.
4:41
The reason we haven't salted it yet
4:42
is because the sausage is salty,
4:47
so we're gonna have to taste it.
4:49
- Mhm.
4:51
- All right, Paula, I need a little bit
4:52
more water, miss Paula.
4:53
- Okay, I want add it kind of slow.
4:55
- Okay there we go. - Not too much.
4:57
- Now we're gonna have to taste it
4:59
and see how much salt and pepper we need.
5:01
- Okay.
5:02
- Oh girl, you're gonna burn your finger.
5:05
- Listen. - Does it need salt?
5:07
- That bacon grease in there, I tasted it.
5:09
It's so good. - On your biscuit.
5:10
- You know, I had to go
5:16
get fingerprints when we started
5:18
carrying beer and wine and alcohol
5:20
at the restaurant. - Oh, you did?
5:21
- So I went, I went and.
5:26
- Grab me some pepper too.
5:27
- I'm going to get you some pepper.
5:29
- Oh, you're getting some?
5:30
Okay.
5:32
- And I had no fingerprints.
5:35
They couldn't get 'em.
5:36
- Are you, what did they do?
5:37
- Well they just kept on until they got a little something,
5:40
little something, something.
5:42
But I swear I had cooked them off.
5:44
- I believe that.
5:46
- You know, touching so much hot stuff.
5:48
What in the world is this thing?
5:50
Well that's my pepper.
5:51
But it must, the battery must be.
5:52
- Well, no it's coming out. - [Paula] There we go.
5:56
- A new gadget for Dana.
5:58
(Dana speaks indistinctly)
6:01
- Well I just like the chunky.
6:03
- The cracking pieces of pepper?
6:04
- Uh-huh.
6:05
- All right, I think you got it covered.
6:10
- Yes.
6:11
- All right, now this is ready.
6:12
Y'all look here and y'all,
6:15
if you are have a big group coming over for breakfast
6:18
to go ahead and put this in your crock pot.
6:20
Will hold for a good while
6:21
and actually the flavor will be better, Paula.
6:23
- It will.
6:24
- It's been in there a little while.
6:26
Okay, now all we need is a biscuit and a fork.
6:30
- Well I got my biscuit and I got my spoon.
6:32
- Well I gotta get mine. - Where's yours?
6:34
- I don't know!
6:35
(both laugh) Go find me one.
6:37
I can't believe I'm in Paula's kitchen
6:39
making Mama Holt's sausage gravy and biscuits.
6:41
- I can't believe she is either, y'all.
6:43
- Look at that.
6:46
Look Paula.
6:48
Let me get some for you.
6:50
- No, I'll dip my own, honey.
6:52
Because I might not want as much as you.
6:55
- As much as I've got.
6:56
That is a lot. - But I may come back though.
6:58
Oh, that looks so good.
7:01
- And this is our family tradition
7:02
that's been in the family forever.
7:05
And David's grandmother, like I said, was a great cook.
7:08
- Well maybe a little bit more.
7:09
- And y'all, this is also good
7:11
if you got a slice of tomato with it.
7:13
- Yes.
7:15
- Something like that.
7:16
- All right, here's your fork.
7:17
- Thank you.
7:18
- All right.
7:19
- You can say it, miss.
7:21
- That's one of the prettiest sausage biscuits
7:23
I've ever seen right there.
7:24
- Here we go.
7:25
- I saved half of my biscuit
7:27
so mine's not as pretty as yours.
7:31
- Oh come on, ohh baby.
7:36
- Come on, hurry up.
7:38
Hurry up and get on my spoon.
7:46
Mm, mm.
7:49
- What you think Miss Paula?
7:51
- What you think I think?
7:53
- I think you like it.
7:56
My family likes it.
7:58
- I think I do too.
8:00
- That bacony taste in there with sausage.
8:01
- The bacon grease. - Mhm.
8:03
- The bacon grease.
8:05
- It makes a difference. - That's pretty much
8:08
the way I make my sausage gravy
8:09
minus the bacon grease.
8:12
And I mean it brings it home.
8:16
- Well we do this once a year.
8:19
I mean we don't always eat bacon grease like this.
8:21
I normally cook mine the way you do,
8:22
but when they want Mama Holt's sausage gravy,
8:25
this is what I do.
8:29
- Well, there's some lucky feet under your table.
8:35
Some lucky feet sitting there.
8:38
That's all I got to say (Paula laughs).
8:41
Dana, thank you so much girl.
8:44
I'm so glad you came to my book signing.
8:46
I'm so glad we met.
8:47
- Me too.
8:48
- You know, you never know what's gonna happen
8:50
when you come to one of our book signings.
8:53
Love and best dishes, y'all.
8:54
(Paula laughs)
