Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) breakfast sausage
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ – 2 cups buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 450°F and position the rack centrally for uniform heat distribution.
- Pan Preparation: Coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, creating a seamless release surface.
- Sausage Transformation: In a skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook breakfast sausage until golden brown and thoroughly rendered, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry foundation.
- Batter Construction: Integrate buttermilk into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive batter forms, then gently fold in shredded cheddar and cooked sausage fragments.
- Butter Infusion: Melt butter and lavishly coat the baking vessel’s interior, then pour the sausage-cheese batter into the prepared pan, distributing evenly.
- Thermal Transformation: Bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring surface coloration and using aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning if needed.
- Completion Verification: Test doneness with a toothpick – a clean extraction signals the swim biscuits are ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Timing Precision: Cook sausage exactly 8-10 minutes to prevent overcooking and maintain optimal moisture and flavor.
- Cheese Distribution: Fold cheese and sausage gently to ensure even ingredient spread throughout the batter for consistent taste in every bite.
- Browning Watch: Keep aluminum foil nearby to cover biscuits if top browns too quickly, preventing burnt edges while ensuring internal cooking.
- Toothpick Test: Always check center with toothpick – clean extraction confirms complete baking and prevents soggy or undercooked sections.
