Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough.
- Gently pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter (or a drinking glass) to cut out rounds. Gather any scraps, pat them again, and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.
Step 4: Assemble the Biscuits with Sausage
- If you want sausage-filled biscuits, place a spoonful of cooked sausage in the center of each biscuit round.
- Fold the dough over the sausage slightly and press edges gently to seal.
- Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for rising.
- Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top for an extra indulgent touch.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your Southern Sausage Biscuits warm.
- For extra flair, drizzle with hot sauce or serve alongside scrambled eggs.
- These biscuits are also great with a side of honey or butter for a sweet-and-savory twist.
Tips for Perfect Southern Sausage Biscuits
- Keep ingredients cold: Cold butter and buttermilk help create flaky layers.
- Don’t overmix: Overworking the dough can make biscuits tough.
- Customize fillings: Add cheese, caramelized onions, or jalapeños for a unique flavor.
- Freeze for later: Assemble unbaked biscuits and freeze. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
