Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray an (oven safe) glass or ceramic 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the breakfast sausage and break it up into crumbles. Cook until there is no pink left, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and baking powder.
- Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a sticky batter forms, adding more buttermilk if needed.
- Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage until combined.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and pour it into the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the biscuit dough into the baking dish over the melted butter, spreading it evenly.
- Cut the dough into 9 squares for easier serving later.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish once. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Biscuits are done when golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
For a delicious twist, try pouring some maple syrup when serving. Bacon can replace sausage. Store at room temp for two days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
