![]() ![]() Many people don’t like using flour because if it isn’t cooked long enough, it can give a floury flavor to the gravy. I use flour to thicken gravy because it gives the gravy that classic opaque, slightly pale look. This removes the flour flavor so it won’t ruin the taste of your gravy. People often see instructions like “brown the flour” and avoid this step because they aren’t making brown gravy.īrowning flour means you’re cooking the flour. Once the roux is the desired color, liquids like stock are added. The lighter the roux, the more thickening power it has. The flour is added to the melted fat or oil on the stove top, blended until smooth, and cooked to the desired color.Ī roux can be white and used for white sauce, blond for classic gravies, or brown, which is used in gumbo and jambalaya. It is used as a thickening agent for gravy, sauces, soups, and stews, and have been used in French cooking for hundreds of years to thicken sauce. WHAT IS A ROUXĪ roux is equal parts flour and fat cooked together until it reaches a specific color. Then, you add milk (or in this case, dairy free milk) which, with the help of the roux, becomes a sauce. If you stop cooking it too early, your gravy may have a flour taste to it. You do this by adding flour and toast it until it has a nutty flavor. The first step to making sausage gravy is frying the sausage – I often use ground beef instead.īy doing this, you render the fat from the meat which you use to make a roux which will thicken the sauce. Personally, I like to use water and add some dairy free milk for color. Water is also a good substitute for milk in sausage gravy, though the color won’t be as opaque as it would with a dairy free milk. Unsweetened almond milk (especially barista styled almond milk and almond cooking milk), natural flavored full fat oat milk, and soy milk all make great substitutes for milk. To make sausage gravy without milk, simply replace the milk with a dairy free milk or water. With the quality of dairy free milks on the market nowadays, it’s likely you won’t even taste a difference. However, you can make sausage gravy without milk. ![]() Yes, sausage gravy contains dairy unless it is specifically a dairy free recipe, because it’s made with milk. Country gravy on the other hand typically uses butter to make the roux and is meatless. ![]() Unlike country gravy, sausage gravy is made with fat from the meat to make a roux and actually contains meat. What is the difference between country gravy and sausage gravy? If you don’t have sausage, you can easily use ground beef instead. Sausage gravy is usually made by first cooking the sausage, then removing the meat and using the fat to make a roux.Īt this point, milk is usually added, but since this Sausage Gravy is made without milk, you can use either a dairy free milk or water. Typically, it is served over biscuits or buttermilk biscuits. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.Sausage gravy is a traditional breakfast dish in the South. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the glaze. To make the glaze: Mix the cream and melted butter together in a small bowl. Press together the scraps of dough and cut 2 more biscuits. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. (For a flakier biscuit repeat the folding a second time.) Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently stir the milk into the flour mixture to make a loose dough. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it is in even pieces about the size of a pea. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper. To make the biscuits: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. ![]()
