Sausage Cheese Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful Southern-inspired breakfast treat that will have your taste buds singing. These fluffy, buttery biscuits are infused with savory sausage, melty cheddar cheese, and a rich, creamy texture that simply melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided (2 tablespoon melted, 2 tablespoon cold)
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 4 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.

2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

4. Cut in Cold Butter: Grate or cut the 2 tablespoon of cold butter into small pieces and mix into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.

5. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the cold buttermilk, melted butter (2 tablespoon), shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked sausage until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Shape Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it into a 1-inch-thick square. Cut into 9 large biscuits or 12 smaller ones.

7. Bake: Place the biscuits into the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with heavy cream (optional) for a golden finish.

8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.

9. Serve: Serve these Sausage Cheese Butter Swim Biscuits warm, ideally with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter.

Notes

Keep the butter and buttermilk as cold as possible to achieve the flakiest, most tender biscuits.

Be gentle when incorporating the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to prevent the biscuits from becoming tough.

Use a sharp biscuit cutter or knife to cut the biscuits, and handle the dough as little as possible when shaping.

Brushing the biscuit tops with heavy cream or milk before baking will give them a beautiful, golden-brown color.
