Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 (16-ounce) package breakfast sausage (, browned and drained)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 475º F. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or using a fork until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in sausage, cheddar cheese, buttermilk and hot sauce until well combined. The dough will be moist and shouldn't have any visibly dry flour remaining in the mixture.
  • Scoop biscuit bites using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop and place onto rimmed baking sheets. Place into the oven and bake until cooked through and lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
