Main Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 3/4 - 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray to prepare for baking.
- Cook sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is fully browned with no pink remaining, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the cooked sausage on paper towels to remove excess fat.
- Prepare biscuit batter: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add in the buttermilk gradually and stir until a sticky batter forms, adding a little more buttermilk if necessary to achieve the right consistency. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage.
- Assemble biscuits: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the biscuit batter over the butter and spread evenly. Using a knife or spatula, cut the dough into 9 squares to form individual biscuits while still in the pan.
- Bake: Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating once halfway through baking. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the biscuits start browning too quickly, cover them loosely with foil to prevent burning.
Notes
- This is an easy, no-roll biscuit recipe packed with flavorful sausage and cheese, baked directly in buttery goodness.
- Spraying your hands with nonstick spray before spreading the dough helps prevent sticking and ensures even spreading.
- Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the biscuits towards the end of baking.
