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.

I love the brown gravy. More flavor than regular white gravy. Makes me think of my mom, because she made it.
I am making these right now to enjoy with the game. They look yummy (fattening, but yummy) Thanks Christie.
Oops should have been a y not an ie. Sorry.
I hope you enjoyed them and the game Randy!!
I agree Beatrice, brown gravy does have the flavor!!
When I was little Daddy would make this gray on the weekend for us 7 kids while Momma made biscuits. We called it “POOR MAN’S GRAVY” as it was nothing but bacon grease, flour and milk all which most of us country folks had. A lot of people will think this doesn’t sound good but it was so yummy when we were really lucky there would be the round end of the chunk of bologna left which Daddy would cut up into little cubes, fry good and brown then add it to that poor man’s gravy to go over the biscuits. TALK ABOUT SOME GOOD EATIN’!!!!!
Oh My (per kaye above) is correct! Gotta try these Biscuits and Gravy for sure! Gotta be Yummy! 🙂
OH MY . . . Thank you Christy!! Have never heard of this one, however do I need to tell you, I’m making this one for SURE!! I’ve never, ever seen ANYTHING that crispy bacon and garlic did not make DELISH!!

I know this “bacon loving family” will love these! Thanks for another great recipe.
Christy, my dad always made bacon gravy instead of sausage gravy for us growing up!!! Love it then and still do! I’ve taken to adding bacon to the gravy in pieces just because I love bacon! Good over toast, biscuits, half-ripe tomatoes, and hashbrowns!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Psssst…Christy…I know you’d never leave off someone’s name a-purpose, but it does say on the Bacon Bash that one of the contributors was Kami Bigler of NoBiggie. Love and Hugs! ~~Paula
