So it's basically a scone then. Never tried them with gravy though, just cream and jam!
In texture they are similar to a scone but they are not sweet (or at least they shouldn't be, by accounts of every Southerner I know) and also they tend to be a lot moister than scones. I think that's really the big difference. A scone is usually kind of crumbly and a good biscuit should be flakey. They are absolutely delicious and incredibly quick and easy to make. You should try using one of the recipes here to see what you think.
Biscuits and gravy is absolutely divine. I've never made gravy in my life, so I won't attempt it, as I know making gravy is a fine art. The gravy used is traditionally made with sausage.
Actually, any tips on making gravy would also be appreciated!
