Ingredients and Preparation

Preparing the Heavy Cream Mixture

The first step in our recipe involves one cup of heavy whipping cream. Warm it up in the microwave for about 45 seconds. To this warmed cream, add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This addition enhances the biscuit’s buttermilk flavor and aids in the leavening process.

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

Measure out two and a half cups of self-rising flour. This is a crucial ingredient for the structure and rise of your biscuits. Next, we will work with half a cup of cubed, cold butter. Using a food processor, pulse the cubed butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter is key to creating a flakey, textured biscuit.

Adding a Sweet Touch

Although traditional Southern biscuits have a hint of sweetness, this recipe swaps out regular sugar for a quarter cup of allulose. While allulose doesn’t impart a sweet flavor, it enhances the overall taste profile, giving the biscuits a satisfying finish without the unwanted blood sugar spike.

Assembling the Dough

Once you have your flour and butter mixture ready, it is time to add the heavy cream and apple cider vinegar mixture. Pour it over the flour mixture and stir until combined. The dough will be quite sticky, which is precisely how it should be to ensure that our biscuits turn out airy and fluffy.

Shaping and Baking

Prepare a baking sheet and portion out the dough into nine equal biscuits. Arrange them on the sheet and preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to ensure they don’t over brown.

While the biscuits are in the oven, it’s the perfect time to prepare the complementary keto gravy.

Making the Keto Gravy

Cooking the Sausage

Start by cooking one pound of sausage in a pan over medium heat. Cook it thoroughly until it is well browned.

Adding the Butter and Flour

Once the sausage is cooked, it’s time to add three tablespoons of butter to the same pan. Let the butter melt and coat the sausage evenly. Then sprinkle one-quarter cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage. To this mixture, add one teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

Creating the Gravy

Now, prepare the liquid component of your gravy. Combine one and a half cups of water with one and a half cups of heavy cream. This mixture will replace the whole milk usually called for in traditional gravy recipes. Slowly pour this blend into your pan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for about five minutes until it thickens into a creamy gravy.
