Biscuits and gravy is a classic Southern breakfast dish that has been around for centuries. The biscuits are typically made with white flour, but this recipe uses almond flour instead, making it a great option for people who are gluten-free or grain-free. The gravy is made with sausage, milk, and flour, and it's seasoned with black pepper and sage. This recipe is a bit different from traditional biscuits and gravy, but it's just as delicious and satisfying.
Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 30 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the buttermilk and melted coconut oil and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few seconds until it comes together.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch and cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Add the almond milk and tapioca flour to the skillet and stir until smooth.
Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Stir in the sausage and serve over the biscuits.
Why It Works
The almond flour gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture.
The coconut oil adds a rich flavor to the biscuits.
The tapioca flour thickens the gravy without making it gummy.
