My family always has crescent rolls at Thanksgiving. When these came out of the oven, the smell reminded me of a buttery roll on Thanksgiving morning...they tasted great too. The flavor reminds me of my past life of KFC buttermilk biscuits.
1 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 tsp aluminum free baking powder
4 egg whites
2 TBS butter (cut into pieces)
OPTIONS: add 1 tsp of garlic or your favorite spice.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan with coconut oil spray. Whip egg whites until very fluffy. In a separate medium bowl, mix the baking powder into the almond flour. Then cut in the butter and salt. Gently fold in the dry mixture into the whites. Dollop the dough into the muffin tin and bake for 11-15 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

This gravy would also be great on top of cauliflower mashed "faux"tatoes on Thanksgiving day.
4 egg whites
1/4 cup wheat free Tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
1/8 tsp dried thyme or poultry spice
1/4 cup veggie/chicken broth
2 TBS sour cream
1/2 packet Truvia (optional)
Celtic sea salt & pepper to taste
On medium heat cook egg whites mixed with tamari sauce, broth & spices until the eggs are cooked and a bit lumpy. Pour into a blender, add sour cream & Truvia and blend for 1 minute until smooth. Makes 16 servings.
