Biscuits With Spicy Tomato Gravy




Source of Recipe


Oregonian-Published April 20, 2010


Recipe Introduction



Makes 4 servings

Instead of rolling and cutting the biscuit dough, the thick batter is simply scooped into muffin tins. Serve with scrambled eggs, if desired. Note that the sodium level is high due to the canned tomatoes, baking soda and added salt. You can reduce the added salt, but it will compromise the flavor of the biscuits. Or, you can choose to serve one biscuit instead of two.


List of Ingredients




Mayonnaise Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 cup milk

Spicy Tomato Gravy

1/4 cup butter
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles (I used Muir Glen's Fired Roasted brand)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper





Recipe



To make biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8 of the cups in a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir in the mayonnaise with a wooden spoon until the mixture looks slightly crumbly. Add the milk all at once and stir until all of the flour is absorbed; it will be a bit lumpy -- do not over mix. Divide the batter among the 8 greased muffin cups and transfer to the oven. Bake until golden brown, 25 minutes. Run a knife around the biscuits to loosen them from the pan, remove and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

To make gravy: While the biscuits are baking, make the gravy. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and garlic powder and simmer for 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the tomatoes, stir to combine thoroughly, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the milk. Bring to a vigorous simmer and cook uncovered until thickened and bubbly, 5 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste; cover and reduce heat to low.

Split the biscuits open and arrange on 4 plates. Ladle the gravy over the biscuits
