Making Cannabis Biscuits and Gravy: A Step-by-Step Procedure
Preparation of Biscuits
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- Place 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, chives, and dill into the food processor.
- Incorporate Cannabutter:
- Add 1/2 cup of cold cannabutter into the food processor slowly. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
- Knead the Dough:
- Flour a clean surface and transfer the dough. Knead it gently to bring it together. Tip: Do not over-knead; just enough to incorporate all ingredients.
- Add Herbs and Shape:
- Fold additional fresh herbs into the dough for more flavor. Flatten the dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out six biscuits.
- Bake the Biscuits:
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet. Brush each with egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Making the Gravy
- Start the Base:
- In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add 1 tsp finely chopped sage and 2 Tbsp flour. Stir constantly to form a roux (a thickening base).
- Add Cream and Simmer:
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until it thickens. Variation: For a thinner gravy, add more cream or a splash of milk.
- Final Touch:
- While the biscuits are baking and the gravy is simmering, prepare to finish the gravy. Once the biscuits are nearly done, stir in additional cannabutter into the gravy for enhanced flavor and potency.
