This Keto Biscuits and Gravy recipe offers a low-carb twist on a classic comfort food. The biscuits are made with almond flour, eggs, and butter, resulting in a fluffy texture that pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy sausage or bacon gravy.

Notes
Here are some important notes to keep in mind when making Keto Biscuits and Gravy:
Almond Flour Substitution: If you're allergic to almonds or prefer a different flour, you can try using coconut flour instead. However, note that coconut flour absorbs more liquid than almond flour, so you'll need to adjust the quantities accordingly.
Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is used as a thickener in the gravy to mimic the texture of traditional flour-based gravies. If you don't have xanthan gum, you can try using a small amount of guar gum or omitting the thickener altogether, although the consistency may be slightly different.
Gravy Thickness: Adjust the amount of xanthan gum or simmering time to achieve your desired gravy thickness. Add a little at a time and whisk well to avoid clumps.
Seasoning: Taste the gravy before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. You can also add other herbs and spices for extra flavor, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Storage: Store any leftover biscuits and gravy separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Serving Suggestions: Keto Biscuits and Gravy are delicious on their own but can also be served with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped parsley, chives, or grated cheese for added flavor and presentation.
