Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk or Buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cooked and Crumbled Sausage (seasoned)
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (or cheese blend)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper evenly.
  3. Cut in Butter: Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to incorporate the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating a tender biscuit texture.
  4. Add Cheese and Sausage: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and cooked sausage, mixing just until combined to evenly distribute flavors.
  5. Incorporate Milk and Form Dough: Gradually pour in milk or buttermilk while stirring gently until the dough starts to hold together; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick, and cut into biscuit-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to achieve flaky, tender biscuits.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use freshly cooked sausage with minimal grease to prevent soggy biscuits.
  • Grate your own cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Preheat your oven fully before baking for proper rise and browning.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • Freeze unbaked cut biscuits on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen with a few extra minutes baking time.
  • Reheat biscuits in a 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness and melt cheese.
