I knew it!
You are getting your recipes lined up for your tv show. Just make sure you give credit to the recipe donors. Sorry, I can't help you with the the red eye gravy recipe, but I know it was popular when I lived in Cincinnati. I could give you a good healthy apple crsip recipe, though.0 -

Never heard of it Buzz so I went on cooks.com and there are 33 recipies listed for it. Most of it deals with cooking ham.
Gosh, you have funny names for things red "eye" gravy, "cathead" biscuits.
Good luck and let us know how it comes out.

Buzz...Red eye gravy is made using country ham drippings ( that's the very salty ham ) & perked coffee. I suspect some flour or cornstarch or something goes in it too?Sundanceh said:From Another Southern Boy...

Lip Smackin Good.....LOLNana b said:I think I have Paula Dean's
I think I have Paula Dean's recipe from her grandmother.
and I think Red eye is country ham grease and perked coffee...I remember that we did use a tablespoon to ladle it out of the gravy dish it was in ....and that it was real liquidy (real word ?) and very very hot...not sure if there may have been a lil baking soda or a touch of flour. I will see though.....I can actually taste it after 50 years of none at all...and yeah, Im kinda wanting some myself........Love to all, Buzz
Next southern slang word to decipher............" #4 sheepdip "..........LOL.....0 -

The South
I spent 3 years in the South in three states, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Only thing I learned was how to insult someone driving a Harley Davidson was by innocently calling it a Harvey Danielson. And that I didn't like grits or greens, but loved crawdads!!!!
So I can't answer your trivia questions or give you long lost recipes, but I AM ENJOYING the heck about learning about them. Going to make your biscuits this weekend!!! Lard and all. (they actually sound like the kind my Mom would make on Sundays)

I have owned several restaurants in South Carolina and have served biscuits and red-eye gravy as a breakfast special in almost all of them. I've see many different methods. There are two that I like the best.Nana b said:Puaula Dean and another receipe

Traditional old school recipe.
Cook your country ham. It wouldn't hurt to add some fatback, salt pork, or side meat. You can also add whatever friable veggies you like. You want the skillet hot but not hot enough to start degrading the oil (smoking). Once you have fully cooked your meat remove the meat and pour rendered oils into a bowl. Put skillet back on heat and add about as much coffee as oil that you poured into bowl. The coffee doesn't need to be hot before you put it in the skillet. With a spoon do your best to clean the skillet with the coffee. The coffee should be boiling off. When about a third has boiled off. Pour the coffee into the bowl with the previously rendered oils. The gravy should separate into two parts. Coffee and drippings on the bottom, rendered fats on top. A really neat twist to this that I find very tasty is to add instant coffee to a beef or chicken stock then use it to clean the skillet.
If you use a white bowl you will quickly see how the gravy got its name.
Quick and dirty with a george forman grill
Replace drip tray with a bowl.
Cook country ham. Again Adding fatback, salt pork or side meat increases gravy volume
remove meat when done
clean grill with cup of coffee
the bowl you used for a drip pan will be red eye gravy.
There are tons of new recipes.
Stay away from the ones that use butter. I usually butter my biscuits so adding some to the gravy overpowers other flavors
Mixing it thoroughly and adding flour makes a more homogenous gravy and becomes more of a white gravy which is still delicious0 -
