brunch happiness: grainless biscuits and gravy
all the fluffiness, creaminess and flavor, without the refined flour, sugar, and heavy cream.
i made this the other day for my husband (who eats all the bagels, biscuits, and bread he wants..the unhealthy kind!), he said it was the best bite of biscuit he's ever had....yes!
with few ingredients and easy prep, this meal will definitely become a staple in our house. i found myself using the biscuits later days to make sandwiches + avo toast and they were delish! dreaming of a fried egg on top of one today...
biscuits:
21/2 c almond flour
1/2 t sea salt
1/2 t baking soda
2 eggs
1/4 c melted ghee
1 T raw organic honey
1 T chopped rosemary
-in a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, & soda. in a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the ghee, honey & rosemary. add the wet to the dry and mix well until a sticky dough forms. cover place in fridge for at least an hour or up to three days.
-when ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. using hands, place dough on another piece of parchment and press down evenly to 1" thickness. using the ring to a mason jar lid, cut out circles in dough. whisk 1 egg in a bowl and brush on top of biscuits. bake for 20 minutes or until golden on top.
chicken sausage gravy:
3 T ghee
3 large chicken sausage links, cut up into pieces (i used a clean organic applegates brand)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 t dried sage
pinch of sea salt & nutmeg
1 T pepper
1 c unsweetened nut milk
1 T arrowroot starch
-heat a skillet over medium heat. add ghee, onions + garlic and cook until translucent. add sausage and spices and cook until sausage is lightly browned.
-in a small bowl, whisk together nut milk and arrowroot. add to the sausage, stir, and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
-cut lightly cooled biscuits in half and ladle gravy over top. enjoy!
