Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl or Food Processor
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Parchment Paper or Silpat Mat

Ingredients
  

Keto Biscuits

  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp COLD Blanched Almond Flour (place in fridge 20 min if not cold)
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp COLD unsalted butter
  • 3 large Egg Whites from 3 LARGE Eggs, or egg white carton equivalent

Keto Sausage Gravy

  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions
 

Keto Biscuits

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat and set aside.
  • First you will need to add 1 cup + 2 Tbsp COLD Almond Flour, 2 Tbsp COLD butter to a large bowl. Add in 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp baking powder.
  • Begin cutting the butter into the dry ingredients. A pastry cutter works best here. It should have a medium crumb consistency. You want little pea size bits of butter.
  • Now you will need egg whites from 3 LARGE Eggs. Its important they be large so your amounts are not off. Whisk whites well until frothy.
  • Cut and stir in egg whites to the dry mix with a KNIFE. It sounds strange, but it helps to keep them light textured.
  • I used a cookie scoop to place on my lined cookie sheet. It is approx. 2 Tbsp of batter per biscuit if you don't have a scoop.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 400F oven until golden brown.
  • Makes approx. 6 biscuits. @ 1g carb each.

Keto Sausage Gravy

  • Brown and crumble meat in a large skillet. Whisk in heavy cream once no longer pink.
  • Now whisk in water.
  • Bring to a low boil then turn down to a simmer.
  • Whisk in xanthan gum.
  • Simmer until thickened, approximately 5-8 minutes.
  • Serve over biscuits while hot.

Notes

  • Try making your gravy without xanthan gum and substitutive in 2 oz. of cream cheese instead. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it melts evenly into the gravy.
  • Using chicken broth instead of water to thin out the thickness in the gravy is a great way to add in extra flavor. Chicken is light enough that it is hardly detectable.
  • Consider using sour cream as a thickener instead of xanthan gum. You may want to decrease the water addition in half until you find the perfect balance of thickness with the sour cream.
  • Pair the biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs or crispy bacon for a complete low carb diet breakfast spread.
  • For a lighter option for a keto diet, serve the biscuits with a dollop of butter and my keto sugar-free jam.
  • Add some fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the gravy or to the biscuits for a pop of color and flavor.
Can I substitute coconut flour for the almond flour in this recipe?
No, because coconut flour requires a lot more moisture than almond flour. You would need to increase the egg whites and experiment with it to get the right texture.
Is there a way to make this dairy free?
Yes, replace the butter called for with vegan butter and use cashew cream for the heavy cream. There is also a dairy free alternative heavy cream from the brand Country Crock you may use also. 
Can I make the gravy without the sausage or any meat if I want to make a black pepper white gravy?
Yes, that would work. You will need to melt some butter as your first ingredient into the skillet. Make sure you also add in some great savory spices like garlic powder and/or onion powder to give it flavor. Proceed with the recipe as stated.
