Ingredients
1 lb ground pork sausage
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 tbsp butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times. Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out 4 biscuits using a 3-inch round cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
While biscuits bake, form sausage into 4 patties slightly larger than biscuits (they shrink). Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F/71°C).
During last minute of cooking sausage, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover pan to melt.
Split biscuits in half. Place cheesy sausage patty on bottom half, top with biscuit top. Serve warm.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or maple syrup to the sausage patty.
Biscuits can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
