Vegetarian Biscuits and Gravy

 When I want something warm and comforting, I make biscuits and gravy. It feels like a hug or a fluffy blanket. 

These are quick and easy cream biscuits. There is no need to carefully cut butter or shortening into the flour. You don’t even have to chill the biscuits before baking them. 

The biscuits are topped with a vegetarian mushroom gravy that is luscious, creamy, and delicious without being too rich and heavy. Traditionally, the gravy is made with crumbled sausage; this recipe imitates that flavor by calling for seasonings typically found in sausage: crushed red pepper flakes, fennel, and fresh thyme.

Vegetarian biscuits and gravy are the ultimate indulgence and are only made better by sharing them with family or friends. If you start the gravy while the biscuits bake, you can have an easy meal on the table in about 30 minutes!
