Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with a dollop of gravy, these sausage biscuits are a staple in Southern cuisine that’s sure to please everyone at the table.

Table of Contents

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing the biscuits)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Make the Biscuit Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 4: Assemble the Sausage Biscuits

  1. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  2. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds of dough.
  3. Place a spoonful of cooked sausage in the center of half of the dough rounds. Top with another dough round and gently press the edges to seal.
  4. Place the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Bake the Biscuits

  1. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of gravy or your favorite breakfast spread.

Cooking Tips & Notes

  • Cold Ingredients: Make sure your butter and buttermilk are very cold. This helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: Overmixing the dough can make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Sausage Options: Use your favorite breakfast sausage, whether it’s pork, turkey, or even a spicy variety for extra flavor.

Variations

  • Cheese Sausage Biscuits: Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
  • Herbed Sausage Biscuits: Add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
  • Spicy Sausage Biscuits: Use spicy breakfast sausage and add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a bit of heat.
  • Biscuits and Gravy: Serve these sausage biscuits with a side of sausage gravy for a true Southern experience.

  1. Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at lavenderharborvault extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  2. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at garnetridgegoodsstore continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  3. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at suncovegallery extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  4. Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after jasperharborcraftcollective my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  5. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at suncovegallery confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  6. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at garnetridgegoodsstore continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  7. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at baystonegalleria continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  8. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at coastharborvault reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  9. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at jasperharborcraftcollective continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

  10. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at olivecovecommerceatelier confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  11. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at nightstonecollective kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  12. I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at moneymagnolia did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.

  13. A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at suncovegallery reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.

  15. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at opalriveremporium kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  16. Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at jewelcoveartisanmarket extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

  17. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at jasperharborcraftcollective extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  18. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at brightharbortrading continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  19. Перед началом лечения врач-нарколог проводит прием, собирает информацию о длительности зависимости, количестве употребляемого алкоголя или наркотических веществ, предыдущих попытках бросить и наличии хронических заболеваний. При необходимости назначаются анализы и дополнительная диагностика. В сложных случаях к обследованию подключается психиатр, психолог или психотерапевт. Такой подход необходим, если у человека отмечаются бессонница, выраженная тревожность, изменения личности, депрессивные проявления, психические нарушения или последствия длительной интоксикации.

  20. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at oliveharbortraders kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  22. A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at snowridgegoodsstore continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.

  23. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at autumncoveartisanhouse cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  24. Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at stoneharborvault reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.

  26. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after ivoryridgeoutpost I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  27. Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at brightharbortrading maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.

  28. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at kitchenkismet produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  29. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at snowridgegoodsstore extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  30. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at pebbletrailartisanmart confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  31. Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at skycoveartisanmart confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.

  32. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at ivoryridgeoutpost added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  34. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at brightharbortrading extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  36. В наркологической клинике вывод из запоя проводится комплексно и строго персонально. Мы не используем шаблонные схемы: врач оценивает возраст пациента, стаж употребления алкоголя, наличие хронических патологий, показатели давления, пульса, уровень интоксикации и особенности психического состояния. После первичной диагностики составляется план лечения, который может включать детоксикационную инфузионную терапию, медикаментозную поддержку, физиотерапевтические процедуры и психотерапевтическую работу. Наша наркологическая служба располагает собственным стационаром с комфортными палатами, современным оборудованием и круглосуточным медицинским наблюдением. При необходимости мы организуем выезд на дом в любом районе Москвы и ближайшего Подмосковья. В любом случае мы гарантируем полную анонимность и соблюдение врачебной тайны — данные пациента не передаются третьим лицам, не ставятся на учет в государственный наркологический диспансер. Лечение в нашей клинике — это всегда высокий стандарт качества и безопасности.

  37. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at olivecovecommerceatelier added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  38. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to nightstonecollective confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  39. Вывод из запоя в Красноярске — востребованная наркологическая помощь при продолжительном приеме алкоголя, тяжелом похмелье и абстинентном синдроме. Специалисты помогают прервать запой, уменьшить последствия интоксикации, поддержать работу печени, сердца, головного мозга и нервной системы. В зависимости от тяжести нарушения помощь нарколога оказывается на дому или в клинике. Перед началом лечения оцениваются самочувствие, длительность запойного периода, стаж алкоголизма, хронические болезни и лекарства, которые принимает обратившийся.

  40. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at silkridgeartisanmarket suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  41. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at snowridgegoodsstore added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  42. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at ivoryridgeoutpost extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  43. Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at skycoveartisanmart added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.

  44. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at opalriveremporium extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  45. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through jewelcoveartisanmarket only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  46. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at silkridgeartisanmarket continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  47. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at autumncoveartisanhouse keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  48. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at jasperharboremporium continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
