Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the crumbled cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley (if using) until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and sausage mixture. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough (approximately 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm!
