My MIL found a copy of The Gluten Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg (copyright 2000) at a yard sale and gave it to me last month. I used her sweet biscuit recipe so I could have strawberry shortcake later for desert. OMG!! They baked liked real biscuits, looked like real biscuits, and tasted like real biscuits! :) I will be using her regular biscuit recipe to have with sausage gravy. I have not had that is almost two years. :( It was not worth making it until I found an edible biscuit and now I have.

I don't have a recipe I follow, just watched my mother growing up. I hope when I make it with gluten free thickners it comes out allright. Basically I brown and drain appx. 1 pound of sausage (swaggerty's is our favorite, it is a regional product out of the Seiverville area) then add it back into my pan and add enough milk to cover the sausage. When heated through thicken with flour dissolved in milk (gluten free now) until I achieve the thickness I want. Sometimes I have to mix up more flour. I taste and correct seasoning as necessary. Usually I only have to add some salt.

Biscuit with sausage gravy? I'm not sure what that is but it sounds interesting.

What is a biscuit in America? I know that what we call a biscuit in Australia is what Americans call a cookie. So what is a biscuit?

Here are some links to sausage gravy and biscuits and pictures of american biscuits. They would be somewhat similar to a scone. They are also good when you split them and eat them with a sausage patty and fried egg. In the south it is popular to eat them with country ham. They are also good with butter or jam/jelly.

Somewhat similar to a scone, but they tend to be only savory, not sweet. If you're still curious, google "Southern Buttermilk Biscuit" and see what you think, realizing that this is the gluten version.

Ah, how to describe a biscuit.... Kind of like a scone, only round - a baking powder bread roll??? In the southern parts of the U.S. usually served with gravy. Biscuits an' gravy, t'is almost a staple it seems. I think you probably have to be raised in the south to really appreciate them (and really know how to do them :P ) Now this is a forriner's take on them. Roda will probably have a different story:lol:

Gee Y'all thanks. I reckon I can't take credit for being a "real" southerner. I'm actually a transplant for about 15 years. I did grow up in the middle of the Allegheny Mountains (part of the Appalachian Mountains) in NW Pennsylvania on a 60 acre farm that was surrounded by national forest. We grew up on country food, we planted our own garden every year, canned the veggies from it and raised our own meat. When I moved I had no idea how to buy meat at the grocery. Luckily I met and married a butcher so I leave those things to him. Now for a true southern buttermilk biscuit, I leave that to the "real" southerners I have become friends with. :lol: You can't beat a good 'ol southern biscuit!

So would it be totally wrong for me to ask if you ...might...post... that biscuit recipe???!!!! Is that allowed? I made some biscuits today actually and they are partly made from that garbanzo flour and they weren't as yummy as I would've liked them to be. Kinda disappointing. :( Would like to know there are real tasting gluten-free biscuits out there!

I'm not sure either, but I found the recipe featured on here so here is the regular biscuit recipe. I have not made this version, but I suspect it will be just as good since it is very similar. I made the sweet biscuit recipe for shortcake and the differences are: 1/4 cup sugar,1 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum, 2/3 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring. All the rest is the same. I like really BIG biscuits so I rolled out the dough really thick and I got five out of the recipe. I baked them about 20 minutes. If you wanted a butermilk version you could sub it for the regular milk.

I did a search and came up with this recipe for Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits from The Gluten Free Kitchen but following Cooks Illustrated's method of preparation. Is this the same one?

That is essentially the same recipe I gave a link to except this one uses butter instead of shortening and buttermilk for the milk. This version has you make the biscuits a little different. I just patted out the dough and cut mine out really thick. I did not handle it much. But unlike regular flour, you can't overwork gluten free doughs making them tough. To me that is a bonus especially when I make rolled sugar cookies.

Roda, do these biscuits freeze well? Yeah, I can see myself just sitting down and pigging out! tongue.gif I think they's also be good topped with creamed chipped beef. Now I'm hungry!!!

I just made this, and it's yummy! The texture is more like a regular bread roll, but the taste is definite biscuit. Make it with buttermilk and it tastes just like a buttermilk biscuit. Did I just say like a regular bread roll?? It really does have that texture!!

I will be freezing the ones we don't eat tommorow. If they freeze and thaw well then I'll have something quick to snack on!

Kim27...your welcome!

I may have to put the sausage gravy on hold for awhile. :( I have been toying with small amounts of dairy and I think milk is still bothering me. I'm doing OK with small amounts of hard cheese though which is a good thing.

I have tried sausage gravy with coconut milk and it turned out pretty good. If you have a strong enough sausage you won't taste the coconut flavor much - if at all.

My whole family liked it when I tried it.

The way I make sausage gravy is... To start with ground sausage. If I can't find that I buy pattties and cut them into little pieces. Then brown them in a skillet. When they are brown, I add enough sweet rice flour to coat then slowly add plain rice milk. If you can have dairy you can use regular milk. Then cook until thick and add plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

I serve this over baked potatoes because I've yet to find a biscuit that was good. I would like the recipe!

I'm not sure if anyone would like that or not. I don't think hubby would. The kids never liked it anyway so that not an issue.

It does sound strange, but it was good. I think it is the closest to mimicking cow milk, but if you don't use it much it might not turn out quite how you would like.

I like using coconut because it is so easy to digest and is the best source of medium chain fatty acids - plus I just think it tastes better than any other milk substitute, but that's just me.

Anyway, I hope you find something that works good for you. :)

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
