Almost a full English breakfast

Almost (full) English breakfast

Trying to think what to make for breakfast this Sunday? Here's what we had last weekend.. No tomatoes and mushrooms, and ciabatta instead of white sliced toast, but otherwise pretty close and rather nice..

Biscuits and Milk Gravy with Sausage. A nice comforting breakfast typical of the American South.
Baking powder biscuits; very simple and recipes abound on-line.
Sage flavored pork sausage fried in patties; easy enough to make from 1lb. ground pork (shoulder works perfectly as it's not too lean) salt, pepper, ground sage and red pepper flakes to taste.
After frying the sausage reserve 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the frying pan. Add 1/4 cup flour to make a roux. Stir in 2 cups of milk and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve gravy over hot biscuits with sausage either on the side or crumbled up in the gravy. Hot sauce such as tabasco is a welcome accompaniment.
Delicious

Pille, what's in that pretty stripy bowl then? scrambled eggs? served beautifully, in a rather Estonian than English manner:)

I'm also curious as to what's in the bowl. I've never had a proper English breakfast. Isn't that a shame?

Delicious! I was just planning a proper English breakfast with friends for this weekend.

Baked beans are in the bowl, it's based on an English breakfast therefore the beans.

Katrina - it's scrambled eggs a la Gordon Ramsay. I always ordered scrambled eggs (as opposed to a fried egg) when having a full English or Scottish breakfast!

Miss Boom - do try it, when in the UK. It's not for the fainthearted, but it's lovely!
