Mundus Biscuits & Gravy

Buttery biscuits made with Mundus Pancake, Waffle & Biscuit Mix, topped with Mundus Country Gravy. Includes an option to use our cheddar-style biscuits.

Makes: 8 biscuits; serves 4
Prep: About 15 minutes
Bake: Approximately 15–18 minutes
Total: About 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the biscuits

• 300 g (approximately 2½ cups) Mundus Original Pancake, Waffle & Biscuit Mix, plus a little for dusting
• 85 g (6 tablespoons) cold Mundus butter, cut into small cubes
• ¾ cup (180 ml) cold, unsweetened plant-based milk, plus up to 2 tablespoons more as needed
• A little plant-based milk for brushing

For the gravy

• 40 g (approximately ⅓ cup) Mundus Country Gravy Mix
• 2½ cups (600 ml) unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon Mundus butter
• Additional milk to thin, as needed
• Black pepper, to taste
• 8 ounces (225 g) crumbled breakfast sausage or plant-based sausage, optional
• A little oil for cooking plant-based sausage, if needed

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment rated for that temperature.
2. Put the biscuit mix in a bowl. Cut or rub in the cold butter until the mixture looks crumbly, with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
3. Stir in ¾ cup milk just until the dough holds together. Let it sit for 2 minutes to hydrate. If dry mix remains, add more milk a teaspoon at a time. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, but hold its shape.
4. Turn onto a surface lightly dusted with mix. Pat into a rectangle, fold it in thirds, then gently pat it out again. Repeat once. Finish with a rectangle about ¾ inch thick and cut into 8 squares. Place on the tray about ½ inch apart and brush lightly with milk.
5. Bake for approximately 15–18 minutes, until golden and baked through.
6. If using sausage, cook it in a skillet while the biscuits bake, following its package directions. Use a little oil if the plant-based sausage needs it. Set aside.
7. Whisk the gravy mix into the cold milk in a saucepan until smooth. Add the butter. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it reaches a gentle simmer and thickens. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring, until the gravy is smooth and has no raw flour taste.
8. Stir in the cooked sausage, if using. Add a splash of milk if the gravy is thicker than you like. Taste before adding any salt; the mix is already seasoned. Add black pepper as desired.
9. Split the warm biscuits and spoon the gravy over them. Serve immediately.

Cheddar-style option
