Every Saturday, I try to make a breakfast my husband will love. We only have one day off a week together, Saturday, so I make it count!
Not long before switching to the Paleo lifestyle, I mastered biscuits made from scratch and I made sausage gravy for the first time. I'm from the South, so I had to be able to make a good biscuit. No one ever says this, it's just an unspoken truth. After we switched, I thought I would never eat a plate of sausage gravy and biscuit again, but I was wrong! The cookbook, Beyond Bacon came into my life and showed me the way to make sausage gravy and biscuit.
The sausage gravy was amazing! My husband loved it and thought it tasted like the real thing! But it wasn't. Instead of milk and flour, it was made with coconut milk and arrowroot starch. I know I will definitely be making this again and again. Unfortunately, I had to use someone else's recipe for the biscuits. I forgot it called for tapioca flour and I didn't have any. I wish I would've had some because the recipe I used called for coconut flour and they turned out a little dense. I'm hoping the tapioca flour makes a fluffier biscuit. I'll report back when I try it.
I also decided to throw together some blueberry jam. If there are biscuits, there has to be jam. I only made about ½ a cup. Here's how:
½ Cup frozen or fresh blueberries
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice - fresh or bottled
1 Tablespoon Raw Honey
I just eyeballed the measurements, jam is very forgiving.
Over med-high heat, add all ingredients to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Let it cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Keep in mind it will thicken as it cools, too. If the jam gets too thick as it cooks, add a little water.
Yum, that looks really good. Definitely invest in tapioca flour, it is so much cheaper than almond and coconut flour. It does a great job and you don't need to use very much of it for recipes.
