Main Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 3/4 to 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until completely browned and no pink remains, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the cooked sausage on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add the buttermilk while stirring until a sticky batter forms. If the batter is too dry, add a bit more buttermilk. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage pieces to evenly distribute.
- Assemble in Butter: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, making sure it covers the bottom completely. Spoon and spread the biscuit dough on top of the butter evenly, using sprayed hands if necessary to help spread. Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 even squares to allow easy separation after baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the dish halfway through baking to ensure even browning. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
Notes
- This recipe is an easy, no-roll biscuit method loaded with savory sausage and cheese, baked directly in butter for rich flavor and crisp edges.
- Spray your hands with nonstick spray to help spread the sticky dough evenly in the baking dish without it sticking to your fingers.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven’s heat distribution; keep an eye towards the end of baking to avoid overbrowning or undercooking.
