Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 8 ounces vegetarian sausage
- 1 small onion
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
To make the biscuits, start by sifting together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.
Cut 0.5 cups of cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add into the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 0.75 cups of milk while stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Cut the dough using a biscuit cutter or a glass into rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the vegetarian sausage gravy. Chop 1 small onion and 2 garlic cloves.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 8 ounces of vegetarian sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in 0.25 cups of flour and cook for about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of vegetable broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in 0.5 cups of heavy cream, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme.
Return the browned vegetarian sausage to the skillet and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning if needed and garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Split the warm biscuits and serve topped with the savory vegetarian sausage gravy.
