Cheddar Biscuits & Mushroom Gravy
I'm always looking for meatless variations on stuff to make my girlfriend and she loves biscuits and gravy so why not? 😆
For the biscuits, I subbed buttermilk with sour cream thinned with water which worked great, they weren't as crumbly/dry as when I use buttermilk which some people like, but, I prefer a biscuit that doesn't need a chaser 😂 1/2 cup sour cream w/ 1/8 cup water & half stick of melted butter, combined in one bowl. 1 cup flour, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp garlic powder, & 1 tbsp onion powder combined in another bowl. Mix the wet into the dry until you can form a ball of dough. Add shredded cheddar (better to shred your own) and separate into balls on a baking sheet w/ parchment paper. Bake @ 420° until the bottoms are browned.
While those are baking, heat up some truffle oil and start cooking down some minced mushrooms. Once they're reduced and starting to brown stir in some onion and garlic until fragrent, melt some butter, then add enough flour to absorb any remaining liquid and coat everything. Cook until light brown then mix in heavy cream. Let it simmer to thicken, salt & pepper to taste, thin w/ vegetable broth as needed.
While everything cools down a bit, fry a couple eggs then enjoy!
