Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy – #Brunchweek

Today starts our next super fun food series: BrunchWeek! I haven’t participated in one of these events in a long time. Honestly, I haven’t posted a new recipe in months. So sorry. I’ve literally been traveling 3 out of the last 6 months. It’s been nuts. But I’m back with a great recipe that I’ve been meaning to create for a couple of years now: Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy!

Gluten free biscuits — The perfect flaky gluten free biscuit!

Do you know the secret to gluten free baking? It’s using a combination of flours and getting the flour to moisture ratio correct. Do you know how I do that for biscuits? Bob’s Red Mill gluten free one-to-one baking flour mix and a combo of buttermilk and yogurt. You get the ultimate high rising biscuit that’s flaky and moist. Perfect to top with with this sausage gravy recipe or your favorite butter and jam combo! They’re divine. Absolutely divine. And the sausage gravy is delicious too. Not too heavy and I don’t add rosemary or sage to this recipe. Is it just me who’s stomach sometimes can’t handle those spices early in the morning? I make my own breakfast sausage patties because most brands have too much of these spices. It makes me nauseous for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But don’t worry, this recipe for Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy is sage free. LOL.

2 tbsp butter sub ghee or coconut oil if desired
2 tbsp gluten free flour

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in oven 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool while you make gravy.

To skillet, melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour for 1-2 minutes.
