# Ingredients:
→ Biscuits
01 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
06 -
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
→ Sausage Filling
07 -
1 pound breakfast sausage
08 -
Sliced cheddar cheese or American cheese (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
03 -
Add the cold cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
04 -
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix just until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking.
05 -
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, fold it gently several times, then roll it to a 1-inch thickness.
06 -
Cut dough into rounds with a biscuit cutter and arrange on a baking sheet.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
08 -
While the biscuits are baking, shape the breakfast sausage into patties slightly larger than the biscuit rounds. Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
09 -
Split the warm biscuits in half. Place a cooked sausage patty inside each biscuit. Add sliced cheese, if desired. Close with the biscuit tops and serve hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For maximal flakiness, keep ingredients cold and avoid overmixing the dough.
