Biscuit

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk gradually, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 8

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the sausage and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 9

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, black pepper, and salt. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables, and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked.

  4. 10

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg mixture and stir until melted and evenly distributed.
