Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently combine the dough with a fork or your hands until it just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle, about 3/4-inch thick. Fold the dough over onto itself three times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-pat the dough, and continue cutting out biscuits as needed.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
