Ingredients: For the Biscuit Base:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (the foundation)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (the leavening magic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (the rising agent)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (the flavor enhancer)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (the flaky perfection)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (the moist binder)

For the Cheezy Sausage Filling:

  • 1 pound ground sausage (the savory heart)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (the gooey indulgence)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (the fresh kick)

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (the golden touch)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (the sweet drizzle)

Instructions:

  1. Foundation of Flakiness: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—the foundation of flakiness that will give our biscuits their irresistible texture. Imagine the powdery ingredients coming together, setting the stage for buttery goodness.
  2. Flaky Perfection: Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients—the flaky perfection in the making. Visualize the butter being incorporated into the flour mixture, creating coarse crumbs. The key here is to keep the butter cold for that sought-after flakiness.
  3. Moist Binder: Pour in buttermilk—the moist binder that brings the biscuit dough together. Picture the buttermilk infusing the mixture, transforming it into a soft, pliable dough. Handle the dough gently to preserve its flaky potential.
  4. Savory Heart: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground sausage until browned and crumbly—the savory heart of our Cheezy Sausage Biscuit Bites. Imagine the aroma filling your kitchen as the sausage sizzles, releasing its rich flavors.
  5. Gooey Indulgence: Combine the cooked sausage with shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onions—the gooey indulgence that elevates the filling. Visualize the cheese melting into the sausage, creating a savory and cheesy marriage.
  6. Biscuit Embrace: Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface, creating a rectangle. Spread the Cheezy Sausage Filling evenly over the dough—the biscuit embrace that surrounds the savory and cheesy center. Picture each bite promising a perfect balance of flavors.
  7. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough into a log and slice it into bite-sized rounds—the rhythmic motion of creating our biscuit bites. Visualize each slice revealing layers of flaky biscuit, savory sausage, and gooey cheese.
  8. Golden Touch (Optional): If desired, mix melted butter with honey for a sweet glaze—the golden touch that adds a hint of sweetness. Imagine drizzling the glaze over the biscuit rounds, creating a luscious coating.
  9. Bake to Perfection: Place the sliced biscuit rounds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes—the transformative process where the biscuits rise to golden perfection. Visualize the aroma of freshly baked biscuits filling your kitchen.

Cook Notes:

  • For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the Cheezy Sausage Filling.

Variations:

  1. Herb-infused Elegance: Add a teaspoon of dried herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to the biscuit dough for an herb-infused elegance—a variation that imparts a touch of sophistication.
  2. Spicy Fiesta: Mix in diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the Cheezy Sausage Filling for a spicy fiesta—a variation that brings a fiery kick to each bite.

Keto Version:
