Servings: 8 biscuits
Calories: 460kcal
Ingredients
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (113 g) medium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Maple Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Fold in the sausage and cheddar cheese.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the butter and spread it gently to the edges.
- Using a knife, cut the unbaked dough into 8 squares. Bake for 26 to 28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the center is cooked through. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, loosely tent the biscuits with foil.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the maple butter. Whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup.
- Brush the maple butter over the hot biscuits. Let the biscuits sit for a few minutes so the butter in the pan can absorb before serving.
