I Finally Found An Edible Biscuit

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. :)

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
