Servings 12 large biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, cut into pieces
- 3 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
- 1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, making sure to break it into small pieces. Drain the fat and let cool while you continue with the recipe.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter to the bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Stir in the green onions, cheese, and cooked and cooled sausage. Stir in the buttermilk until no dry pockets remain.
- Use a large spoon to portion the dough in 12 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 17 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through.
Notes
Sausage biscuits are best served the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Warm in a toaster oven or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
