Satisfying Biscuits and Gravy - 7 net carbs per serving
Posted Sep 12 2008 8:59am
That's right, low-carb biscuits with sausage gravy!!! 7 net carbs is based on 6 servings of two biscuits each with gravy. The biscuits have only one net carb each. The gravy is where the remaining carbs are. I bought the low carb biscuit mix over the internet. It is called " Dixie Carb Counters Country Biscuits." These were awesome! I'm not posting the recipe as its written on the package. This mix and many more are available on Amazon.com but can probably be found elsewhere for cheaper. Just go to Amazon and search for "Dixie Carb Counters". For the gravy, at first I tried to make the gravy using Carbquik. I didn't like it so, I dumped it and started over. The gravy recipe below tastes great. It uses normal white flour. The carbs are acceptable since they are paired with biscuits that have so few carbs. However, it's still fewer carbs than normal white gravy because I used "Hood calorie countdown dairy beverage" instead of milk.
Serves 6
Gravy Ingredients: 1/2 tube breakfast sausage 3 T. flour 2 T. whipping cream 2 c. Hood calorie countdown dairy beverage (low-carb milk). salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: Cook sausage on medium in skillet. Remove browned sausage, reserving 3 or 4 tablespoons of the grease. On Medium, add flour to grease and cook until thick and bubbly. Whisk in cream and Hood dairy beverage. Add cooked sausage. Heat on low until thick. If too thick, add more Hood to thin.
