Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1.25 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz cooked pork breakfast sausage, crumbled and drained
  • 0.25 cup scallions, finely chopped
  • 1.25 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for brushing

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cook the sausage if needed, then crumble, drain well, and let cool.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a big bowl.
  • Cut in the cold diced butter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs with pea-size bits.
  • Stir in cheddar, cooled sausage, and scallions until evenly distributed.
  • Pour in cold buttermilk and gently mix just until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat to about 3/4 inch, fold over itself three times, then pat to 1 inch thick.
  • Cut rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cutter, pressing straight down. Place biscuits close together on the sheet.
  • Bake 13–16 minutes, until tall and deeply golden on top.
  • Brush hot biscuits with melted butter. Rest 5 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

Try folding in minced pickled jalapeños for heat, or swap scallions for chives. Leftovers keep two days at room temperature; reheat in a 350°F oven for 6–8 minutes. Unbaked cut biscuits freeze well—bake from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes.
