Southern Sausage Biscuits

Step 4: Roll and Cut the Biscuits

1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
2. Knead it gently 3–4 times until smooth.
3. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Evenly spread the cooked sausage over half of the dough.
5. Fold the dough over to enclose the sausage, then gently press down.
6. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut into rounds, re-rolling scraps as needed.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

1. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each.
2. Optional: Brush the tops with a little melted butter for extra golden color.
3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Southern Sausage Biscuits are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them on their own, or split and add cheese, eggs, or a drizzle of honey for a breakfast sandwich twist.

Tips for Success

• Cold butter is key: It creates those signature flaky layers in biscuits.
• Buttermilk adds tenderness: Its acidity reacts with the baking soda to make the biscuits rise beautifully.
• Don’t overmix: Handle the dough gently to keep it soft and fluffy.
• Customize your sausage: Try spicy sausage for a kick, or add herbs like thyme or sage for extra depth.
