Good work Bryce. I’ve been hungering for B&G lately, even to the point of considering just getting the real thing — but I have prevailed against such insanity!

Interesting about the coconut milk base. I used freshly ground country sausage from a market that does their own up near my vacation home and it came out without any sweetness or coconut flavor. However, I’m going to give yours a try.

Thanks.

Made these biscuits work beautifully today with coconut flour. 1 egg per tbsp coconut flour, per tbsp melted butter, with a little baking powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Baked for about 15 minutes at 400, and they actually came out “biscuity” and held the gravy very well.

As for the gravy, I found that coconut milk gave it a sweetness I couldn’t reconcile with my ideal of the perfect gravy. Heavy whipping cream and butter made for a more suitable gravy this time around, and it was soooo good.

Thanks for the idea!

Very timely! I just got the craving and was trying to figure out the biscuit situation. I was going to try the frozen Alexis biscuits because at least they have less crap in them.

But the gravy is key. I will have to try this. Never even thought of coconut milk in for someting like that.

You can take the girl out of the country... but she still needs some biscuits and gravy.

I made this today for a Father's Day treat. I added a little almond flour to the mix. I have to say, this was by far, the best primal meal I have eaten. I was so looking forward to topping my eggs with it again tomorrow. Alas, it is all gone.

I also judge restaurants by their country gravy (I'm not even 50% primal yet, but working on it), and I'll definitely try this one on my eggs.

try with chestnuts flour … seems quite primal to me.

so girl gone primal had some primal muffins that she did, seemed that they could be adapted to this recipe, maybe leaving the chocolate out and replacing with maybe a savory herb.
I always used to cheese biscuits with herbs in them.
