This is a super dumbed down version of biscuits though which will still the job just fine but with a little more effort you can do much better.

Biscuits can be made easily or they can be made well. I don't care how many times you fold that dough, it won't be the same as having tiny pockets of cold butter to create flaky layers. There's always a sacrifice to shortcuts. But if someone isn't picky or just doesn't have a refined palate, little tidbits like this are good to have on hand. Especially if they're in their beginning stages of home cooking.

@justbrandon80

Love your videos, as I think we're both perfectionist cooking nerds that love making scientifically solid recipes. As a Southern boy, I was interested to see what you did in this video. With that said, there are a few things that stood out. Don't melt butter in the pan first (in your base/example recipe). The sausage (and later the roux) benefit greatly from only relying on the ample fat that comes out of the sausage. Don't make square biscuits. They're supposed to be round so that they cook more evenly & don't get the dry corners. Square biscuits are pretty much only the norm when campfire cooking. You need to use a mixer of some sort when using xanthan gum. It's incredibly hard/impossible to properly mix it without. You usually want to remove the sausage from the pan when you are browning your roux. You can see that your gravy turned out too pale because you weren't able to get your roux dark enough because it was in a crowded pan with meat that continued rendering moisture/fat. This also turned out disturbingly thin with oversized chunks of meat that should've been broken up much more. Ground turkey does not belong in biscuits & gravy. Sure that's gatekeeping, but the moment you remove pork, you're no longer making the same dish. This was probably a bad recipe to try adapting to low cal. You didn't clean cut all the sides of your biscuits, so they didn't rise properly. Even if you insist on square biscuits, make a straight clean cut to trim off a bit of dough, so they cook properly. I hope you're like me & want info like this to make an even better recipe, rather than assuming I'm a hater. Love your work, so please don't assume negative intent.

Strongly agree about browning the roux and using a blender to incorporate xanthan gum. I'm also not sure xanthan gum is the right choice of thickener for this application but I'm not well-versed enough in hydrocolloids to really give an informed recommendation on this front. I do enjoy square biscuits.

I’m eating this right now and I’m not sure how I messed it up, but something doesn’t quite taste right in the gravy. The sausage is a little too spicy for my family, which is fixable in the future. But the gravy tastes like wet milk. Might it be because I used Lactaid instead of regular lactose milk? It looked about the same in the picture, save some cooking differences (my sausage didn’t get browned as much), but the gravy seemed too watery. I was worried that I didn’t use enough xanthan gum, so I added 1/4tsp more. The biscuits and sausage were solid and will totally revisit to tweak and make to taste, not overwork the dough, etc...I’m just really concerned I messed up the gravy somehow.
@pennyforyourthots
3 жыл бұрын
It might be the Lactaid, because lactose is a sugar, so that being cooked might have contributed to the flavor. Maybe just the smallest Touch of sugar would help? Also, you should Brown the sausage more because that contributes to the flavor, the Browning is what makes it taste like gravy as opposed to milk. Using a different fat like bacon fat or something might also help. I would also say maybe try reducing your gravy a bit more before you thicken it, since reducing a concentrates the flavor, which would help it taste a little bit less like milk. Be very careful of this though, because you might burn it.
