Essential Supplies:

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s make sure we have the necessary supplies ready:

• Blackstone griddle (any size will do)
• Spatula or grill tongs
• Mixing bowls
• Baking sheet or pan
• Cooking oil or non-stick spray

Ingredients you need:

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice)

For the Gravy:

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, your preference)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Biscuits

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat while you prepare the biscuit dough.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into pea-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture.
4. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing; a slightly shaggy dough is perfect.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds.
6. Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet or pan, making sure they are touching for soft-sided biscuits.

Step 2: Cooking the Biscuits

1. Lightly grease your Blackstone griddle with cooking oil or non-stick spray.
2. Carefully transfer the biscuits onto the griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
3. Remove the biscuits from the griddle and keep them warm while you prepare the gravy.

Step 3: Preparing the Gravy

1. In the same preheated Blackstone griddle, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. Break it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir it in, allowing it to coat the sausage evenly.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the gravy for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final stir.
5. The more you cook gravy, the more you’ll get a feel for it. It takes longer than you would expect, so take it slow and once you get to a good consistency, kill the heat.

Step 4: Serving the Breakfast

1. Split the warm biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.
2. Generously ladle the creamy sausage gravy over the biscuits.
3. Your biscuits and gravy breakfast on the Blackstone griddle is now ready to be enjoyed!

Tips for Biscuits and Gravy:

• For an added twist, you can top your biscuits and gravy with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or green onions.
• Want a vegetarian version? Replace the breakfast sausage with plant-based sausage crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of milk for the gravy.

Low Carb Considerations

For a low-carb version of Biscuits and Gravy, you can make a few simple substitutions to reduce the carbohydrate content while still enjoying the comforting flavors. Here’s how to do it:

Low-Carb Biscuits:
Instead of using traditional biscuits made from all-purpose flour, opt for a recipe that uses almond flour or coconut flour. These flours are low in carbs and high in healthy fats and fiber. You can find many low-carb biscuit recipes online that are specifically designed to be keto-friendly or suitable for a low-carb diet.

Low-Carb Gravy:
To make a low-carb gravy, use a thickener that is low in carbs. Instead of using all-purpose flour, try using a combination of xanthan gum and heavy cream. Xanthan gum is a low-carb thickening agent commonly used in keto and low-carb cooking. Simply whisk a small amount of xanthan gum into the heated heavy cream until the desired thickness is achieved. Season the gravy with your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

For a complete low-carb breakfast, consider serving the low-carb biscuits and gravy with the following options:

1. Sautéed Spinach: Sauté fresh spinach with garlic and olive oil until wilted. It’s a nutritious and low-carb addition to your breakfast.
2. Avocado Slices: Creamy avocado slices add healthy fats and a delicious creamy texture to the meal.
3. Eggs: Prepare eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached—for an extra dose of protein.

By making these low-carb adjustments to the biscuits and gravy recipe and choosing low-carb sides, you can enjoy a satisfying breakfast on the Blackstone griddle that aligns with your low-carb lifestyle. Remember to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.

There you have it – a delightful biscuits and gravy breakfast made on the Blackstone griddle. This hearty and flavorful morning treat is sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces. So, gather your supplies, follow the easy instructions, and get ready to savor the warm and comforting taste of homemade biscuits and gravy.
