How to Make the Best Cheddar Sausage Biscuits Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cheddar Sausage Biscuits: All purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, frozen butter, cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, buttermilk, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh chives and melted butter to brush the tops.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: Mixing bowls,a whisk to sift the dry ingredients, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, baking pans, a sharp knife and non stick rolling surface plus a pastry brush to brush the butter on the tops before baking.
• What kind of sausage do you need to make sausage biscuits? These sausage biscuits are made using pork breakfast sausage. You can use your favorite brand of mild or hot sausage like Jimmy Dean or similar.
• As you can see, I opted to cut these biscuits into squares instead of cutting them with a round biscuit cutter. You can make them into any shape you like using a variety of biscuit cutters in various sizes. The choice is yours.
• Why do you freeze the butter for making biscuits? For this recipe, I like to freeze the butter and toss it through the dry ingredients rather than cutting it in with a pastry blender. When doing so, the butter melts in the oven creating steam that gives a lift to the biscuit dough while baking.
• When sifting the dry ingredients together to make Southern biscuits, it’s perfectly fine to use a whisk to sift things together.
• Why are my biscuits dry? When making Southern buttermilk biscuits, it’s important not to over mix the dough. This dough will need to be kneaded gently a couple of times just to bring it together, but once it comes together and smooth, it’s time to stop. If not, the overworked dough can make the biscuits tough and dry.
• Can I bake biscuits on a baking sheet? These biscuits can be baked on a sheet pan without touching or side by side in a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.
• Can I serve these cheddar sausage biscuits with gravy? Yes, you can!
• Store leftover Cheddar Sausage Biscuits chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
