Sausage

Buttermilk Biscuit

Method

Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Sausage

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, black pepper, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and maple syrup. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Sausage Patties

    Divide the sausage mixture into equal portions and form them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Buttermilk Biscuit Preparation

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 5

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 6

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 7

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 8

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 9

    Bake the Biscuits

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