Biscuits and Gravy Can Be Gluten Free!

One of my favorite breakfast dishes had to be given up when diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  I love the classic biscuits and gravy!  And it doesn’t help that my mom owns a diner that serves biscuits and gravy all the time!  Now I am not a baker or that great of a chef, but after doing lots of searching the world wide web for ingredients and taste-testing what I found, I have finally put together a delicious batch of gluten-free biscuits and gravy!

Main ingredients: biscuits, gravy, and sausage.  What’s great about the recipe I’ve put together is that you don’t have to be talented to make this a success.  I use Martha White’s Gluten Free Biscuits (only $1.50 at Wal-Mart!) and Pioneer’s Gluten-Free Country Gravy (gravy in a packet is what took me forrreverrr to find since I am terrible at making gravy from scratch-you can get this on Amazon for around $1.25 a packet).  Then you can use whatever breakfast sausage you want.  Now I only make this for myself so I just use one package of biscuits, one package of gravy, and about one-third pound of breakfast sausage.  If you plan on making this for your family, I recommend at least doubling this, depending on how many people you are feeding.

 

This recipe is fairly easy because it’s basically just adding a little liquid to the powder according to the package instructions.  Let’s start with the biscuits.  First follow the directions on the back, adding the milk slowly as you stir it in with the powder.  However, instead of scooping it from the bowl and putting it on a pan, I take a couple other steps not on the package.  You are going to want to throw a little gluten-free flour (I use Pillsbury) on the counter or table.  Then take the biscuit mix out of the bowl and put it in the flour.  Roll it around a little, ending in a good-sized glob of batter.  Dust a rolling pin in the gf flour and flatten out the batter.  If you want a fluffier biscuit, don’t roll too flat.  Then using a cup (or maybe you actually own a biscuit cutter), cut out biscuits.  The cup I use makes three large biscuits and one small biscuit that is left over from cutting.  Place your biscuits on a pan and cook as instructed on the package.

While your biscuits are cooking, you can make the sausage and gravy.  To make the sausage, crumble it up and let it fry in a pan on medium heat.  Keep stirring it up so it doesn’t burn.  As this is going, you can make the gravy, mostly using the instructions on the back of the packet.  I will say that instead of boiling the water on the stove, I just warm it up in the microwave because I’m lazy and I don’t want to wait for the water to boil!  Once the warm water is added to the powder, the instructions say to add cool water.  This is where I change it up to make a better-tasting gravy.  I add milk instead of water.  This has made a huge difference in flavor!  Then once the sausage is done, drain the grease.  Add the meat to the gravy and stir it together.

 

Once the biscuits are finished, I put a couple on a plate and pour the sausage gravy on top.  Voila!  Home-style gluten free biscuits and gravy that taste amazing!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
