Step 4: Add Buttermilk
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix:
- Stir just until the dough comes together
- Do not overmix—this keeps biscuits soft and tender
The dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Lightly flour a surface and:
- Turn the dough out onto it
- Gently pat it into a rectangle (about 2 cm thick)
Fold the dough over itself 2–3 times (this creates layers), then pat it out again.
Step 6: Cut the Biscuits
Using a round cutter or a glass:
- Press straight down (don’t twist—this helps them rise evenly)
- Place biscuits on the baking sheet so they just touch each other
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until:
- Tops are golden brown
- Edges are crisp
Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter right after baking for extra richness.
Step 8: Cook the Sausage
While the biscuits bake:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat
- Cook sausage patties for about 3–4 minutes per side until fully cooked
- Drain excess grease on paper towels
Step 9: Assemble the Biscuits
Slice each biscuit in half and:
- Place a hot sausage patty inside
- Serve immediately while warm
Optional Add-Ons
Take your biscuits to the next level:
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese
- Include a fried or scrambled egg
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a sweet-savory twist
- Spread with butter or gravy
Tips for Success
- Keep everything cold – Cold butter = flaky biscuits
- Don’t overwork the dough – Gentle handling keeps them light
- Bake close together – Helps biscuits rise taller
- Use buttermilk – Adds tang and tenderness
