Recipe: Keto Biscuits and Gravy

Ingredients:

For the Keto Biscuits:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Keto Sausage Gravy:

• 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage (choose a sugar-free variety)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

For the Keto Biscuits:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream or Greek yogurt.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
6. Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface (you can use additional almond flour for dusting). Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
7. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
8. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass with a 2.5-inch (6 cm) diameter to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut out additional biscuits.
9. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

For the Keto Sausage Gravy:

1. While the biscuits are baking, cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
2. Reduce the heat to low, and slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. If you want a thicker gravy, sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk continuously until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
