Hello friends and not-yet-friends.
The other day, I was low on groceries and feeling lazy but hunger could not be denied!
Enter: EASY VEGAN DROP BISCUITS n' GRAVY.
Drop biscuits are way easier to make than regular biscuits.
No need to get your hands dirty and get your counter-top covered in flour.
Of course, if you want to go for the proper layer-y flakey but tender biscuits route,
you do you.
I've got a great recipe linked in the description.
But maybe you don't want to get messy and maybe you want them biscuits 5 minutes ago.
In that case, start preheating your oven to 450°F and mix together flour, sugar, salt,
and baking powder until these dry ingredients are well combined.
Then add plain almond milk or the plant milk of your choice and a couple tablespoons of
oil.
Mix gently.
Using a folding motion will help combine the wet and dry without overmixing.
You don't want to overmix or the biscuits will turn out heavy instead of tender and
fluffy on the inside.
You should have a wet batter but it should not be too liquidy.
Add a smidge more flour if yours looks more liquidy than mine.
Then scoop out a quarter cup and plop on to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Use a rubber spatula to get all the batter out.
You might be able to use a silicone baking mat if it can handle 450°F. But mine only
goes up to 425 so I didn't even try.
Pop those in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden.
While those are baking, heat two tablespoons of oil in a saucepan for our white gravy.
Just add a smidge more.
When it's hot, add four tablespoons of flour, half at first.
Then the other half.
We'll cook for a few minute until this turns golden brown.
Try not to let it burn before adding a cup of plain almond milk.
Or the plant milk of your choice.
A little at a time.
Whisk constantly so your gravy develops smoothly.
But if you get lumps, an immersion blender is a handy thing.
Or you can push lumpy gravy through a wire sieve to smooth it out.
After you've got a cup of almond milk in, cook the gravy gets really thick and pudding-like.
Should only take a couple minutes; not even.
Then continue to add more plant milk or water a little at a time until you get to the consistency
that you want.
Add black pepper and salt.
And anything else you'd like such as garlic powder, onion powder, herbs, or nutritional
yeast for a cheesy kind of flavour.
I'm just going for the basic salt and pepper which is really so good even though it's super
simple.
Remember to taste and adjust for that salt.
And there you have it.
White gravy in minutes and your biscuits should be about ready.
Maybe add some vegan sausage and/or salad for a more complete meal...
Or dig right in.
These biscuits are soft and tender on the inside.
With crunchier bits on the outside.
So tasty.
And with this silky white gravy...
Lovely and delicious!
A super quick and simple thing to whip up the next time you're in a lazy mood, maybe
low on groceries, but your hunger can't be denied!
