Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup vegan sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups plant-based milk (for gravy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your biscuits will bake evenly and rise nicely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Add 1/2 cup of vegan butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in 3/4 cup of plant-based milk gradually, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it is smooth. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the vegan gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, crumble 1 cup of vegan sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of plant-based milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Once the biscuits are out of the oven, split them in half and ladle the hot vegan gravy generously over the top.
- Serve the biscuits and gravy warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired. Enjoy your delicious vegan meal!
Tips
- Preheat Your Oven: Always preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before starting. This helps the biscuits rise beautifully and bake evenly.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients for the biscuits, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Flour Your Surface: When kneading the dough, make sure to flour your surface lightly to prevent sticking, but avoid adding too much extra flour, which can make the biscuits dense.
- Cutting Biscuits: Use a sharp biscuit cutter or glass to cut out your biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise properly.
- Gravy Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, simply whisk in a little more plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, let it cook a bit longer to thicken up.
- Season to Taste: Don’t forget to taste your gravy before serving! Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking for the best flavor.
- Serve Warm: For the ultimate experience, serve your biscuits and gravy immediately after preparing. They taste best when warm and fresh!
- Garnish Creatively: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick of flavor!Enjoy your cooking adventure with this delightful Vegan Biscuits and Gravy recipe, and prepare to be amazed by the deliciousness that awaits!
