Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage Cook until browned with no pink remaining.
2.5 cups all-purpose flour All-purpose flour for the dough.
1 tablespoon granulated sugar For a hint of sweetness.
1 tablespoon baking powder Helps the biscuits rise.
1.75-2 cups buttermilk Use cold for fluffiness.
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese Can substitute with pepper jack for spice.
0.5 cup salted butter, melted Essential for the biscuit base.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain grease on paper towels.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in buttermilk until a sticky batter forms.
Gently fold in the cheese and cooked sausage until well combined.
Pour melted butter into the baking dish. Add biscuit dough on top and spread it evenly. Cut into 9 squares.

Baking

Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating once, until golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean.
Cover with foil if they brown too quickly.

Notes

These biscuits can be served with soups or salads. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results. Use cold buttermilk for fluffiness, or swap ingredients for a vegan option.
