Instructions

How to Make Biscuit Breakfast

  • Cook crumbled breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until browned. Drain any excess grease and allow it to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sausage with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are well mixed for even flavor distribution.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredient mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. The dough should look shaggy but cohesive.
  • Add the sausage and cheese mixture to the dough, folding it in carefully.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  • Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Reroll any scraps gently to cut out additional biscuits.
  • Arrange the cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter or heavy cream.
  • Place in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are beautifully golden brown.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving for extra flair. Enjoy with butter, jam, or honey.
