Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Batter
  • 1 cup Breakfast Sausage Provides savory flavor and protein; substitute with any cooked sausage or bacon.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Essential for structure and texture; ensure proper measurement for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Adds a touch of sweetness to balance savory elements; optional for a less sweet biscuit.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Leavening agent that creates fluffiness; be sure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Contributes moisture and tenderness with a distinctive flavor; can be substituted with regular milk plus a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Adds rich, creamy flavor; other varieties like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack can add a spicy twist.
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Creates a rich, buttery flavor and helps achieve crispy edges; use melted butter for this recipe.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Savory Sausage Cheese Butter Swim Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese gently.
  6. Pour the melted butter into the baking dish, then scoop the biscuit dough on top and cut into squares.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
