Description
A comforting breakfast biscuit recipe featuring sausage, cheese, and rich buttery goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ lb ground breakfast sausage
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Begin by browning the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage until it reaches a golden color, then drain the excess grease and let it cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the butter in your baking dish. Allow it to melt while you prepare the biscuit batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until blended.
- Slowly stir in the buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits—so keep it gentle!
- Fold in the cooked sausage and freshly grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven once the butter has melted. Pour in the biscuit batter, spreading it evenly in the dish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
- Let the biscuits cool for about five minutes before cutting them into squares.
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in fresh herbs like chives or thyme into the batter. Avoid vigorous mixing to keep biscuits fluffy.
