- Sprinkle half the flour on top and stir in. Sprinkle on the rest of the flour and the thyme, and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Raise the heat to medium high, and add the milk in several batches, stirring constantly. Add the Marsala, then sprinkle on the Parmesan and stir in.

- Bake the biscuits while the gravy simmers.
- Split biscuits in half and ladle gravy on. Top with parsley.
Additional Tips
Some people can have digestive upsets from under-cooked Cauliflower mushroom, or from older specimens. Make sure it is not yellowing much, and cook at least 10-15 minutes.
