Made this. Smelled and tasted great! It was a little dry. I expected a gravy. Would it help to add more broth and cream? Hubby wants me to make it again not so dry. He's usually scared when I try new recipes. Ha! We want to perfect this keeper.
Hello - Made this last night. Smelled and tasted great! Was a bit dry. I expected more of a gravy. Should I increase broth and cream? So good that hubby wants to try again to perfect it. Not like him with an ew recipe. Ha! They scare him.
You could increase the ingredients for the gravy. Glad he liked it!
What wonderful food!
Huh! 1/24 teaspoon pepper? Is it even worth trying to figure out how much that is using standard measuring spoons that range from 1 tablespoon down to 1/4 teaspoon. Why not just say "to taste"?
Simple type, just 1/4 teaspoon or to taste, thanks for showing me there was a typo.
This looks yummy - will save for Christmas leftovers, been looking for a recipe for 'dumplings' for ages. Thanks so much.
i just made this but used french beans, fresh peas, and celery for the veg. added more broth at the end as it turned out too thick. it was so delicious. thank you
I made this for dinner tonight. I followed it exactly except I used chicken instead of turkey, only because that’s what I had. It is one of the best low carb dishes I have ever made, and I’ve made a lot. It literally tastes like pot pie and you can’t even taste any coconut at all. I still can’t believe how great this tastes. Will be making it regularly for sure.
If I were to make this with almond flour, would it be the same amount as the coconut flour?
No you need alot more almond flour to equal coconut. I usually suggest 1 cup almond if replacing 1/4 cup coconut.
Could this be made ahead in the morning and put in the fridge to be baked at suppertime?
Yes I think that would be fine.
This recipe looks great. I love pot pies. I’m wondering though instead of drop biscuits can the recipe but used just as well for baked biscuits?
sure
I just made this and it’s cooking. You say it’s 6 servings but when I got done making the biscuits it said drop 8 mounds instead. My casserole dish would not hold 8 anyways. Was this just a misprint?
I can smell it cooking. I have been waiting all day!
I will let you know how it turns out!
Yes that was a misprint, thanks for noticing! I have just 6 mounds of biscuits in my pics.
Can I omit the cheese in the biscuits? I am dairy free as well.
yes you can
I'm wondering if it would be okay to skip the Xanthum gum since it's only 1 tsp. Could I sub in corn starch? I just hate to buy ingredients I"ll onlyuse for one recipe. Thank you!
You could swap it with corn starch.
This looks fabulous! I have been looking for a good recipe for low carb pot pie. One question: do you taste the coconut flour in the biscuits? I have never liked the taste of that flour in baking. Thank you for sharing your yummy recipes!
My youngest son hates coconut and doesn't complain eating these are noticing a coconut flavor.
