Paleo Biscuits with Sausage Gravy Recipe
Who says a paleo breakfast can’t be a hearty comfort meal? Anyone who says that is sadly mistaken.
This is a hearty breakfast, perfect for those chilly mornings when you want to start the day with something hot and satisfying in your belly before facing the day ahead. We are making biscuits with ingredients like egg whites, coconut and almond flour, along with creamy sausage gravy to go on top.
You can use ground sausage or ground beef (either commercially prepared 100% ground beef or you can grind your own) to make the gravy. The arrowroot will thicken it a bit, as will the simmering. Keep an eye on the gravy as it cooks, and keep going until it is as thick as you like.
What You Need:
For the Biscuits:
1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped grass-fed butter/ghee
1/4 cup coconut milk
6 free-range egg whites
Coconut oil (or similar), for greasing
For the Sausage Gravy:
1 lb organic ground sausage
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon almond flour
2 1/2 cups coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon dried sage (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
How to Make Them:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and rub a little coconut oil over it. Combine the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, and baking soda, then cut in the butter. Stir in the coconut milk and vinegar. Beat the egg whites in a second bowl until foamy, then fold them into the flour mixture. Drop dollops of this batter on the prepared baking sheet to make the biscuits, and bake them for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking you can brown the sausage in a skillet. Remove it from the skillet and reserve, leaving the grease in there. If there is less than 1/4 cup of grease in the skillet, add some coconut oil or another paleo-friendly fat until you have 1/4 cup in there.
Now you can add the arrowroot powder and almond flour, and whisk the gravy over a moderate heat until it thickens a bit. Add the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking all the time. Add the sage, if using, and grind in some salt and plenty of black pepper. Add the reserved sausage to the gravy and keep stirring until thick. Serve the gravy over the biscuits.
