Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup cooked smoked sausage (diced)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup beer (pale ale or lager)
- 0.25 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the diced smoked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, combine the beer and buttermilk. Slowly pour the beer mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
