EASY BUTTON: Bake any biscuits, make any B&G bag mix you like, add one cup of cauliflower puree to the mix as it starts to get hot. Your kids will never know they’re eating their veggies for breakfast. We meal-prep our cauliflower puree the night before, so we add it to a lot of dishes just like this (also goes great in pizza sauce).
Fluffy, buttery biscuits are paired with a luscious gravy made from cauliflower puree, creating a lighter yet equally delicious version of the traditional favorite. You won’t believe how satisfying and flavorful this wholesome rendition can be.
Ingredients: For the Cauliflower Biscuits:
- 2 cups cauliflower florets, steamed and mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
For the Cauliflower Gravy:
- 2 cups cauliflower florets, steamed and mashed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: Cauliflower Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the cold cubed butter into the cauliflower mixture, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- On a floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times and then pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.
Cauliflower Gravy:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously until a smooth roux forms.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the mashed cauliflower and continue to cook the mixture until it thickens and reaches a gravy consistency.
- Season the cauliflower gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
