Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Add melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Using your hands or a large spoon, shape the dough into 8 equal-sized biscuits, placing them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- While biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles until fully browned and crispy.
- Remove cooked sausage from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat behind for making the gravy.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and slowly pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly to incorporate the sausage drippings.
- Simmer the cream for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked sausage to the gravy, stirring to combine and heat through.
- Split the baked biscuits in half, placing them on serving plates and generously covering with the sausage gravy.
- Serve immediately while hot, garnishing with additional black pepper if desired.
Tips
- Perfect Biscuit Texture: To achieve the best biscuit texture, ensure that your butter is melted but not too hot when mixing it with the eggs. This helps maintain a tender biscuit.
- Sausage Selection: Choose a flavorful sausage for the gravy; spicy or herbed varieties can elevate the dish and add a delightful kick.
- Gravy Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, simply add a splash of chicken or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the biscuit dough ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just shape the biscuits and bake them fresh when you're ready to serve.
- Garnish for Flair: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley or chives, on top of the gravy for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh salad for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
