I've been on a keto diet for a little over a year, but it's been over five years since I've had good biscuits and gravy. That ended tonight - this was delicious! I found a promising keto pastry mix and substituted it for the flour in Alton Brown's biscuit recipe. I won't eat it often, but it is a nice comfort-food treat.

For five biscuits:
(I halved the recipe for a dozen, but only got five biscuits instead of six - guess I formed the dough too thick.)
1 cup Farm Girl low carb pastry mix
2 t baking powder
1/8 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 T cold butter, cubed
1/2 c cold buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 450 F.
Sift the dry ingredients together and using your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the mix until it looks like crumbs. Create a well and add the buttermilk. Stir until just mixed and turn out onto a floured surface (I used more of the baking mix). Fold the dough over on itself about five times and pat into a 1" round. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Bake until golden brown on top - 15-20 min. Brush the tops with melted butter.

For the gravy:
1 package Jimmy Dean hot sausage
2 T Farm Girl low carb pastry mix
1.5 c heavy cream
2 t pepper
1/4 t cayenne
Brown the sausage over med-high heat. Sprinkle the pastry mix over it and brown a bit more to remove the raw flour taste. Lower the heat to med-low and add the heavy cream, pepper and cayenne. Cook until thick.

EDIT - I just had one of the leftover biscuits warmed with butter and sugar-free blueberry jam. It was yummy, but without the strong taste of the gravy, I could taste the baking powder. Turns out, there's baking powder, baking soda and salt in the Farm Girl mix. I probably should have read the ingredients... I'd back off the baking powder, soda and salt next time, but I'm not sure how much.
