Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), inviting the warm aroma of baking to fill your kitchen.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Sauté until it’s perfectly browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess fat and set aside. Let those savory scents mingle in the air!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, creating a fluffy base for your biscuits.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring that each bite will be filled with cheesy goodness.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk and the melted butter, creating a rich liquid that will bring your dough together.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Remember, a little mixing goes a long way—avoid overmixing for the best texture!
- Gently fold in the cooked sausage, distributing the savory pieces throughout the dough.
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, pour in the melted butter, coating the bottom generously. This will give your biscuits that heavenly, crispy edge!
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the dish, spreading them evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and your kitchen is filled with an irresistible aroma.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving—if you can resist that long!
