Introduction

The aroma of buttery biscuits and sizzling sausage is a breakfast experience I would never get tired of. It evokes memories of family visits where lots of love and laughter were shared. Breakfast and family time come hand in hand, and a breakfast biscuit is a family morning hug.

The breakfast biscuit is a wonderful comforting hug. It is also extremely practical and helps ease the stress of morning time. Be it a big family, just yourself, or prepping for the week, this recipe provides the right amount of flaky biscuit and sausage combination for everyone.

It gets better. You can make the sausage biscuit your own for a unique experience. For a melt in the mouth surprise, add cheese. For rich protein, throw in a fried egg. For a southern classic, they can be served with gravy. Once they are fresh out of the oven, fast food is history.

 

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
• ¾ cup cold buttermilk

For the Sausage Filling

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bake the Biscuits

• Start with the oven at 425°F (220°C).
• In a mixing bowl, combine flour with the other dry ingredients.
• Incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add buttermilk, mixing until the dough barely comes together, then proceed.
• Transfer the mixture to a floured surface, make a few folds, then roll out to an inch thick.
• Cut out with a biscuit cutter, and arrange on a sheet.
• Let them bake until golden brown, for 12–15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sausage

• Form sausage patties a little larger than the biscuits.
• In medium heat, cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, and until brown.
• Let the drippings run off on paper towels.

3. Put the Biscuits Together
