Just made this, didn’t even use the xanthum gum, just used 1tbsp of flour in the gravy to thicken. It tastes just like the real thing. 10/10

I honestly didn’t know biscuits could be homemade that easily, I cook a lot but don’t bake or do anything bread related at all, that’d be a killer way to make a homemade sausage/bacon, egg, and cheese at home which is one of my favorite breakfasts on the planet! Thanks my man!

This recipe has just helped me SO much. I've been on a longer weight loss journey for a while now and replacing foods I crave regularly with a lower calorie alternatives has helped keep my progress and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Biscuits and Gravy have been my white whale for a while, so this just changed the game for me, dude. Thanks for all that you do!

This has been your ingredient report.

I'm a competitive bodybuilder, and this series was a saving grace for me during my first prep. Please continue with it! Love the channel.

quick tip for the square biscuit technique; if you cut a little strip off the outside sides as well so every face has a cut edge they rise much better and more evenly, you can see it on your biscuits in this video that the non-cut sides seem to be "pinched" down a little!

[Sluhg]

As somebody who is currently calorie counting, these videos make me so happy. Please keep it up!

[Samstn]

This is my favorite series you do. Really cool way to approach recipes.

[bparker]

Can't believe how great the low cal biscuits are! They're a new family favorite. What a great recipe!

[frankd]

You've got to pull those biscuits apart then put the gravy over them.

[danacanaria]

I really love this series! My spouse is trying to eat low cal but his biggest concern is eating bland. I like your creativity! You should name the series “Calorie Cut” haha

[kevina]

Wow. Biscuits and gravy are one of my favorite breakfasts of all time, but I thought I wouldn’t get to eat them again for months since I started getting my nutrition under control... THANK YOU!

[MattXShaver]

Considering I’ve been making Kenji’s version of this EVERY WEEK since his video came out, I should probably give this a try 😅

[Pangea_]

The low cal vs reg cal segment is my favorite on your channel man. Keep it up!

[suxtheresnothingtosee]

As a fitness enthusiast these vids are definitely my favorite ~

[claytonyoung]

I second that, please please PLEASE continue with this lower calorie segment. Really enjoying it, and really enjoying making these foods and learning how to make them.

Thanks again for making stellar content!

I converted my father in law to brining chicken, and he loves it.

[RandoBox]

Love how you are going hard mode on the less calories recipes.

Great discussion Ethan. I too agree xanthan is better replaced by cornstarch slurry since it's going into a simmer, and most of us may already have it in the cupboard. We switched to fowl based breakfast sausage years ago and favor it over pork (blasphemy I know to some) . I've been the biscuits n gravy guy for decades, have to make it every time family and friends gather, even our die-hard southern root folks tear it up. I'm looking forward to your biscuits! Never would have thought to use yogurt. Cheers.
