Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for added richness)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine evenly.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Add the cheese and sausage: Stir in the shredded cheese and crumbled sausage until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Add the milk: Pour in the milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut the dough into rounds.
- Bake the biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each one. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite breakfast or as a savory snack.
