Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Coconut oil (solid)
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pound Ground mild breakfast sausage
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 1 cup of solid coconut oil using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead gently 2-3 times, and roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut biscuits using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits bake, prepare the gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain off excess fat if necessary.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage, stirring to coat the sausage evenly.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups of unsweetened almond milk, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.
Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (if using).
Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the warm biscuits topped with the prepared sausage gravy.
