Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prepare for the deliciousness ahead.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Give it a good stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked, crumbled sausage. Ensure that every little piece of cheese and sausage is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and milk until they are well combined, creating a luscious mixture.
- Pour the butter and milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined; be careful not to overmix, as we want those biscuits to be tender.
- Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the greased baking dish, placing them evenly apart to allow for expansion.
- To finish, pour any remaining melted butter over the top of the biscuits. This step adds a golden richness that you won’t want to skip!
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown and deliciously enticing.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before diving in. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm!
Notes or Tips
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the dough. You can also use different types of cheese such as pepper jack for a spicier flavor. These biscuits can be made ahead of time and warmed up for a quick breakfast or snack. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container!
Cooking Techniques
The key to perfectly fluffy biscuits lies in mixing the ingredients just until combined. Overworking the dough can lead to dense biscuits, so fold gently and with care. Also, remember to keep an eye on them while baking; ovens can vary in temperature, and you want that lovely golden brown color without burning the edges!
