# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound breakfast sausage
02 -
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
03 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
04 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
05 -
1 3/4 - 2 cups buttermilk
06 -
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
07 -
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a glass or ceramic 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until no pink remains (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
04 -
Gradually pour 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk into the dry mixture. Stir until a thick and sticky batter forms. Add additional buttermilk if the batter is too dry.
05 -
Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage until evenly combined.
06 -
Melt 1/2 cup of salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
07 -
Transfer the batter directly into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. The melted butter will partially coat the dough. Optional: Spray hands with nonstick spray to assist with spreading.
08 -
Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares to simplify slicing after baking.
09 -
Place the dish on the middle oven rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating once during baking. If browning too quickly, cover with foil. Biscuits are done when golden brown, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10 -
Slice along the scored lines and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
If the biscuits begin browning too fast, covering the baking dish with foil will help ensure they bake evenly.
