π Key Ingredients & Substitutions
To make these Cheesy Sausage Biscuits, youβll need the following simple ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour πΎ
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Β½ teaspoon salt π§
- ΒΌ teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter π§
- 1 cup buttermilk π₯
For the Sausage Filling:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage π (You can choose mild or spicy depending on your preference)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese π§
- ΒΌ cup chopped green onions (optional for a hint of freshness) π±
For the Egg Wash (Optional for a Golden Finish):
- 1 egg, beaten π³
- 1 tablespoon milk π₯
π‘ Substitutions:
- Cheese: You can swap cheddar for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Sausage: Use turkey sausage for a lighter version or try a flavored sausage for a fun twist!
- Buttermilk: If you donβt have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
π¨βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
π₯ Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
1οΈβ£ Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir to ensure everything is well distributed.
2οΈβ£ Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients. You want to achieve a crumbly texture with pea-sized pieces of butter scattered throughout the mixture. This is key for achieving the flaky texture in the biscuits. π§
3οΈβ£ Add Buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as that can make your biscuits tough. The dough should be slightly sticky.
π‘ Pro Tip: If the dough feels too dry, add a little more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time.
π₯ Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Filling
1οΈβ£ Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6β8 minutes.
2οΈβ£ Add Cheese & Green Onions: Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (if using). Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before adding it to the biscuit dough.
π‘ Pro Tip: For extra cheese pull, you can add more cheese to the sausage mixture!
π Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits
1οΈβ£ Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about Β½-inch thickness.
2οΈβ£ Add Sausage Filling: Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit dough circle.
3οΈβ£ Fold the Biscuits: Gently fold the dough around the sausage mixture to form a ball. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. Make sure the filling is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking out while baking.
π₯ Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
1οΈβ£ Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2οΈβ£ Place the Biscuits on the Sheet: Arrange the folded biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
3οΈβ£ Egg Wash: Brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash (beaten egg and milk). This will give the biscuits a beautiful golden finish.
4οΈβ£ Bake the Biscuits: Bake for 15β20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
π‘ Pro Tip: For an even crispier bottom, place the biscuits directly on the oven rack for the last 5 minutes of baking.
π½οΈ Serving Suggestions
