# What You'll Need:
→ Dough Base
01 -
250 g all-purpose flour
02 -
13 g baking powder
03 -
3 g salt
04 -
2 g garlic powder
05 -
1 g black pepper
06 -
113 g unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes
→ Add-Ins
07 -
115 g shredded cheddar cheese
08 -
450 g breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
09 -
120 ml milk or buttermilk
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
03 -
Add cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form.
04 -
Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and cooked, crumbled sausage, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
05 -
Pour milk over the mixture and gently stir until a cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing to preserve flakiness.
06 -
Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Pat it into a rectangle approximately 2.5 cm thick. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuit portions.
07 -
Arrange biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2.5 cm apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
08 -
Remove biscuits from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, keep butter as cold as possible and avoid overworking the dough for optimal flakiness.
02 -
Substitute buttermilk for milk to achieve a richer, more tender biscuit texture.
