Description

These biscuits and gravy offer a comforting and satisfying experience, perfect for elevating any dinner. The buttermilk biscuits capture the essence of traditional Southern baking, delivering a rich, buttery flavor complemented by a beautifully flaky texture achieved through the use of real buttermilk. Each biscuit is studded with visible pieces of butter, which contribute to a delightful contrast: a crisp, almost pie-crust-like exterior gives way to a tender, cake-like interior.

The layers of the biscuit pull apart easily, inviting you to savor each bite. Paired with these exceptional biscuits is a gravy made entirely from scratch. The gravy begins with a base of melted butter, infused with aromatic garlic, and brought to life with the savory depth of beef broth or stock.

The result is a gravy with a deep, golden-brown hue, a testament to the careful cooking process. The texture of the gravy is smooth and creamy, clinging perfectly to the biscuits. Its flavor is robust and well-rounded, with hints of garlic and beef harmonizing to create a truly irresistible sauce.

This gravy is wonderful for dipping the biscuits, allowing you to control the amount of sauce in each bite. Alternatively, you can generously smother the biscuits with the gravy, ensuring every morsel is infused with its rich flavor. The aroma of the freshly baked biscuits and simmering gravy fills the kitchen, creating an inviting and comforting atmosphere.

Whether served as a side dish or as the star of the meal, these biscuits and gravy are sure to impress. When preparing the buttermilk, you can recreate the tangy flavor by combining milk with a touch of lemon juice. When making the roux, remember that patience is essential; stir the flour continuously as it cooks in the butter, preventing it from burning and ensuring a smooth, lump-free gravy.

The roux is ready when it has developed a nutty aroma, indicating that the flour has been properly toasted.

Instructions

    1.
    Add buttermilk and egg to a bowl, and whisk the ingredients together. Then, briefly stir dry yeast into the milk and set the bowl aside. Let the yeast ferment in the buttermilk for at least 5 minutes. You ll know the yeast has activated when it becomes more fragrant and small bubbles appear on the surface of the liquid. Next, add almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment.
    2.
    Quickly mix the dry ingredients together in the mixer with the dough hook. Then, cut the first amount of butter into small cubes and blend them into the flour mixture. The butter needs to be blended until it warm and broken up into small, flaky pieces. This may take several minutes to achieve. Once the butter is in small flakes, add the yeast-buttermilk mixture to the mixer.
    3.
    Blend the ingredients with the dough hook until a very sticky dough comes together. You ll still see small pieces of butter flecked throughout the dough. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Leave the dough somewhere warm to ferment for 1 hour. Although the dough will not rise, the yeast will grow and the dough will become less sticky.
    4.
    Once the dough has fermented, turn on an oven to preheat to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tray liberally with pan spray. Scoop 4-tablespoon portions of dough into the muffin tray until all the dough is used. Gently press the dough below the edges of the muffin tray, then bake the biscuits for 35 minutes or until done. The biscuits will be golden all over and lightly spring back when you press them in the center.
    5.
    While the biscuits cool, make the gravy. Melt the second amount of butter in a small pot over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook it in the butter for about 30 seconds. Next, stir tapioca flour into the butter, and continue stirring over low heat until a roux is created. Making a roux takes several minutes of continually stirring over low to medium heat until the flour cooks, thickens in the butter, and reduces to a creamy golden brown base for your gravy. The roux is ready when the garlic is golden and there is a strong nutty smell coming from the butter and toasted flour.
    6.
    Pour beef broth into the pot, then season it with salt, pepper, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Continue heating the gravy over medium heat as it simmers and reduces to a gravy consistency. Stir the gravy occasionally as it thickens in the pot. Let the gravy rest for a few minutes before serving with warm buttermilk biscuits.
