Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
- Fold in the crumbled cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to approximately 1-inch thickness.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and risen.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops of the hot biscuits with hot honey, allowing it to glaze and slightly caramelize.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy the savory, sweet, and spicy combination of sausage, cheddar, and hot honey biscuits.
Tips
- Keep your butter and buttermilk ice-cold to ensure the flakiest, most tender biscuits possible.
- Don't overwork the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to maintain a light, airy texture.
- For extra-crispy edges, make sure your baking sheet is preheated in the oven before placing the biscuits on it.
- Use freshly cooked, high-quality sausage for the best flavor profile.
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use a clean drinking glass with a sharp rim.
- The hot honey glaze is key - brush it on immediately after baking for a glossy, caramelized finish.
- These biscuits are best served warm, so time your baking to coincide with serving time.
