My Garlic Cream Biscuits are light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. Pair them with fresh cooked bacon and a smear of bacon gravy and you have an appetizer fit for the best of games.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Self Rising Flour *See note
- 1 +1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Bacon Gravy
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In medium bowl, stir together flour and garlic. Add in cream and stir until it forms a stiff dough.
- Pour out onto floured surface and press into a ball with hands.
- Press out flat and then bring it into a ball again. Repeat this four times to knead.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Using a biscuit cutter or juice glass dipped in flour, cut out biscuits.
- Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter, if desired.
To make Bacon Gravy
This gravy is meant to be a little thicker than usual in order to be able to smear biscuits with it.
- Place grease in small skillet, add flour.
- Stir over medium heat until flour is browned.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in milk. Stir constantly until gravy thickens and no lumps remain, 7-8 minutes.
- To assemble biscuits, cut each biscuit in half and top with freshly cooked bacon and a smear of thick bacon gravy. Serve warm.
*To make your own self rising flour, simply add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt for EACH cup of all purpose flour.

Mmmmmmmmmm I love bacon, biscuits and gravy. This gravy sounds a bit different than I have had but I will have to try this!! I know my mom made biscuits and gravy a lot when we were growing up. She had to stretch the groceries to fill up 6 kids.
After reading your recipe for bacon gravy I may have the information to make what my husband has always asked me to make for him. His mother made something called egg gravy and it contained grease from fried meat, such as bacon, and finely chopped scrambled eggs. He says it was so so good. I must try this recipe and he should be a happy guy. Thank you so much for all your recipes. With much appreciation, another Southern gal.
Oh please report back because I know exactly what he is talking about! I’ve always seen the recipe with finely chopped boiled eggs though, and served over thick slices of toast. I keep wanting to post it, its a dear favorite of mine, but I haven’t figured out how to make it look “pretty”!
I think these need to be my supper this evening!!! YUM!
This was just gravy at home, we only named the gravy if it was made with anything other than bacon grease. Mom made it in two styles, brown gravy which was thinner, she used water, or white, which was thick and sometimes had milk, thst was usually what she made for biscuits and gravy.
It snowed here yesterday, not a lot, but it is cold, my car door quit closing, wzs not happy, took ghe car in for fixing, held the door shut by using a load binder, (what would I do without those) through the windows, but it was not warm driving with both windows open. Then to see this recipe and remember years ago, it was like getting a warm hug.
My honey loves biscuits and this looks like a wonderful Valentine breakfast for him. He will be impressed cause I never make biscuits before. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. I hope I can wait until then to try this out.
Thanks!
This sounds WONDERFUL!
