This is not a healthy recipe. This is for when you’re craving old school biscuits and gravy like you had when you were a kid, but you’d like to make an animal friendly version. I love a good Sunday brunch, and this recipe definitely hits the spot! So here goes- enjoy!
Biscuits
Ingredients:
1 cup AP flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp Earth Balance
3 Tbsp Earth Balance Shortening
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 F.
In a large bowl mix together flours, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the shortening and earth balance until it’s crumbly. You can use a fork or a pastry cutter, but it works best if you just use your fingers!
Sir in the milk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass cut dough into circles and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Depending on how big you cut them, you should get somewhere around 10 biscuits.
Bake in your 450 F oven for 15 minutes or until nice and brown on top.
Serve with your favorite jam/preserves or top with a nice country gravy!
Country Gravy
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Earth Balance shortening
3 Tablespoons AP flour
2 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup coconut milk creamer (or soy creamer)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Melt in your shortening in a skillet over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and let mixture simmer for a couple of minutes.
Whisk in the almond milk and creamer.
Turn up the heat a little (medium high) and let it bubble until it is nice and thick and gravy like. You have to babysit it a little, whisking it occasionally.
Add salt and pepper to your liking. I love mine with lots of pepper!
Pour over your biscuits and devour!
I was going to set it up all pretty and take some pictures but it looked so yummy I just couldn’t wait that long!
Mmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
I. Love. Brunch.
Hope you make this soon and I hope you love it!
Happy snacking!!
