Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently combine the dough with a fork or your hands until it just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle, about 3/4-inch thick. Fold the dough over onto itself three times to create flaky layers.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-pat the dough, and continue cutting out biscuits as needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
