Biscuits and Gravy

Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup vegan butter
• 3/4 cup cold soy or almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vinegar

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Mix milk and vinegar. Set aside to curdle. (This mixture will give the biscuits their buttermilk taste)
• Put dry ingredients into a bowl. Using a fork, gently mix the vegan butter into dry ingredients until you have a course mixture.
• Add soy milk/vinegar mixture and quickly stir until dough begins to form.
• Form dough into a ball and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. (This step is okay to skip if you are short on time).
• Put dough onto a floured countertop and knead for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth. If the dough is sticky, add more flour.
• Using a rolling-pin, roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into rounds (a drinking glass works well if you don’t have a biscuit cutter).
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a mixture of 1 tbsp soy milk and 1 tbsp oil for a golden-brown glaze.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot.

Sausage Gravy

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 4 cups soy or almond milk
• 4 sausage substitute patties or ground sausage links (ex. Boca or Morningstar Breakfast Patties)
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

• Saute your favorite vegan sausage until fully cooked and browned on the outside. Crumble into smaller pieces. Set aside.
• Add oil to pan and stir in flour and black pepper over low heat. Continuously stir until the mixture is brown and creamy.
• Slowly add the soymilk until the mixture is creamy and consistent. Add in crumbled sausage.
• Serve hot over buttermilk biscuits.

To Make Preparation Quicker:

Start with pre-made biscuits. Frozen, refrigerated all work great in this recipe! You can even start with Bisquick.

To Make This Spicer:

Add your favorite hot sauce to the gravy (I like Sriracha)
