Strawberry Gravy And Biscuits

For a thicker gravy, simmer the mixture for a longer period to reduce the liquid content.

Try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the strawberry gravy.

If the gravy is too sweet, balance it out with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add a hint of acidity.

For a savory twist, try adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of black pepper to the gravy.

To prevent the biscuits from getting soggy, wait until just before serving to spoon the gravy over them.

Try different types of biscuits, such as buttermilk or whole wheat.

Serve the biscuits and strawberry gravy with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

What is evaporated milk?

Evaporated milk is milk where about 60% of the water content has been removed, resulting in a thicker, creamier product.

Can I use regular milk in this recipe?

You can but you may need to increase the amount of flour to get the gravy the right thickness.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen strawberries can be used instead of frozen but you may have to adjust the milk to flour ratio to adjust for the consistency of the gravy if they give off more or less liquid.

How do I hull and slice strawberries?

To hull a strawberry, remove the green stem and white core using a paring knife. To slice, cut the berry into thin, even slices.

Can I use a different type of flour?

While all-purpose flour is recommended for this recipe, you can try using pastry flour or a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute.

How long should I cook the strawberry gravy?

Cook the strawberry gravy until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, which typically takes about 10-15 minutes.

Can I add other fruits to the gravy?

You can experiment with adding other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries to the gravy for a different flavor.

Why split the biscuits in half before serving?

Splitting the biscuits allows the strawberry gravy to soak into the fluffy interior, adding moisture and flavor to each bite.

How should I store leftovers?

Store any leftover biscuits separately from the gravy. Store the biscuits in airtight containers at room temperature and store the strawberry gravy in a container in the refrigerator. Reheat both gently in the oven or microwave.

Can I freeze the gravy?

While you can freeze the gravy, the texture may change slightly upon thawing.

Can I use frozen biscuits? Or homemade biscuits?

Of course! Whichever type of biscuit you choose, just make sure they are warm and ready to serve.
