Let’s start preparing this delicious and straightforward gluten-free sausage gravy to go with some fluffy gluten-free biscuits!
GF Sausage Gravy Recipe
As we know, gravy is a mixture of flour and cooked meat drippings—mixed with a flavorful liquid, such as chicken stock.
Here, the released fat from cooked sausage serves as the meat drippings, to which we add our gluten-free flour mixture. So, for this gravy recipe, you will need this pretty simple ingredient:
- Gluten-free bulk breakfast pork sausage
- olive oil
- Dairy Free Milk
- Good quality gluten-free flour
- Low-sodium chicken stock
- Seasoned salt and pepper to taste
- Nutmeg, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder (optional)
Preparation:
- Add the oil to a sizable, deep skillet and brown the sausage over medium-high heat until it is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink.
- Once browned, add the gluten-free flour, and cook for another minute while stirring over low heat.
- Add the stock and combine by whisking. Initially, the mixture will clump together, but keep whisking.
- Now, gradually add the milk while stirring and increase the heat to medium.
- Continue cooking and stirring until desired thickness is reached.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste or add more seasonings of your choice (Optional) Nutmeg, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Serve immediately over your gluten-free biscuits if desired.
Storage:
Transfer the gravy to an airtight container once it has completely cooled, and then store it in the fridge for up to three days.
Leftovers should be laid flat in a ziplocked freezer bag before freezing.
Gluten-Free Biscuit Recipe
What could be better for your gravy than a perfectly light and delicious gluten-free buttermilk biscuit?
As simple as it could be, you only need one home bowl to make this biscuit dough (I recommend preparing biscuits before your gravy).
So, to make this gluten-free buttermilk biscuit recipe, you will need this pretty simple ingredient:
- Gluten-Free Flour
- Baking Soda
- Cold Butter and Melted Butter
- Buttermilk
- Sugar
- Salt
Preparation:
- Combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add the cold butter and blend it with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture looks rough.
- Add the buttermilk, then carefully stir everything together with a wooden spoon or dough scraper. The dough should be moved to a floured surface and kneaded. Try not to over-knead.
- Cut out circles using a cookie cutter after flattening the dough into a rectangle or other desired form at a thickness of less than an inch.
- Place the circles on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden.
- Brush the melted butter on the biscuits. Then serve it with your now-ready sausage gravy. Yummy!
Making Gluten-Free Biscuit Gravy: Some Tips to Consider
1) Make Sure your Flour is Gluten-Free:
Since we are preparing gluten-free gravy, it is essential that all ingredients, mainly the flour, are free of gluten.
Make sure the flour is also high-quality (we recommend Bob’s Red Mill® all-purpose gluten-free flour).
2) Ensure that your Sausage is Entirely Brown:
There won’t be any pink spots left when the sausage is well-cooked.
So, wait to lower the heat until your sausage is completely browned.
3) Add Milk Gradually:
Do not pour all milk at once; gradually add the milk while stirring and increase the heat to medium.
4) Remove from Heat only after the Gravy has Thickened:
After adding the milk, you might need to cook the gravy for a few more minutes to achieve the ideal consistency. So take your time and stir to get that.
