We eat as many salads, veggies, lentils & beans, whole grains and fruit as possible, but sometimes it’s nice to eat a vegan version of an artery-clogger. This has no meat & no dairy! The sausage & gravy would make a healthier meal if eaten over a whole potato. To eat on top of potato instead of biscuits:
Wash potato skin & do not peel, but puncture with a knife tip multiple times. Microwave potato 3-4 minutes for red skin medium size, 6-8 minutes for a baking potato cut into strips. Check for doneness before topping with sausage gravy.
BISCUITS VEGAN (for 8 biscuits):
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Whisk together: 2 c flour, 3 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
Add together: 1/3 c vegetable oil, 2/3 c water
FOLD/stir together working dough the minimum possible to combine wet and dry ingredients
Press into a rectangle about 3/4-1″ high, cut with pastry cutter into 8 equal pieces, and place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. BAKE: 10-13 minutes until golden
SAUSAGE AND GRAVY VEGAN for 2 people to top 4 biscuits:
Thaw 1/2 pound VEGAN sausage patties in microwave 1 minute (6 small patties). I used Morningstar Farms Vegan Sausage Patties
Set electric frying pan at 300 degrees
2 TBSP Vegan butter: MELT
1 TBSP + 1 Tsp Flour: Sprinkle and stir to make roux
1/2 to 1 c water: Add water to make proper consistency. About 1/2 cup
Add spices and stir:
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp crushed rosemary
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
After mixing in spices, and consistency final, stir in chopped sausage, and stir until even consistency and hot.
1 serving = 2 biscuits split open crosswise topped with half the mixture
