Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, diced
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small crumbs the size of peas. Stir in the sausage and cheese.
-
Add the buttermilk and use a fork to gently stir the mixture until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. Use your hands to knead the mixture a few times in the bowl to bring the dough together.
-
Turn the dough out onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and pat into an 8×10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares and separate them on the sheet so they are at least 1 inch apart. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the melted butter.
-
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
