Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Creating these amazing Cheese and Sausage Biscuits is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Cheese and Sausage: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled sausage.
5. Combine with Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the dough is a bit sticky.
6. Turn Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface. Transfer the dough to the floured surface and gently pat it down to about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.
8. Brush with Egg Wash: If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and fluffy.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Following these steps guarantees that your Cheese and Sausage Biscuits will turn out delicious every time!
