Cheddar Sausage Biscuit Recipe
Homemade biscuits loaded with flavorful sausage and chunks of melted cheddar cheese. Trust me, the whole family will devour them!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage (I use Jimmy Dean.)
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- ½ cup cold salted butter
- 1 cup diced cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat until completely browned and broken in pieces. Drain off excess fat. Transfer to a plate and freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until cold.
- Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Grate in the butter and stir until the butter is coated.
- Stir in the the cold sausage and cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir until barely combined. Press together, then dump out onto a lightly floured counter.
- Press into an 8x10 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 pieces with a long, sharp knife.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Chill biscuits until oven is ready, then place about an inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake biscuits at 425° for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on the top and bottom. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter.
- Serve hot or warm.
Notes
-Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer. Or wrap in foil and place in a cold oven. Turn the heat to 300 degrees. When the oven is hot, they will be ready. You can also freeze them for 3 months.
