How to Make Southern Sausage Biscuits Step by Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until dough comes together.

Step 3: Shape and Cut

Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat to about ¾-inch thickness. Cut into rounds and place on baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5: Cook the Sausage

While biscuits bake, shape sausage into patties slightly larger than the biscuit (they shrink while cooking). Cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

Step 6: Assemble

Slice biscuits in half and add a sausage patty. Serve warm.
