Sausage and Cheddar Drop Biscuits
SAUSAGE AND CHEDDAR DROP BISCUITS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. onion powder (or 1/2 an onion diced)
- 1/3 c. cold butter
- 1/2 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
- 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (we like it cheesy!)
- 1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine dry ingredients. Cut butter into small chunks and then cut into small pebbles size pieces with a pastry cutter. Toss cooked and drained sausage with flour, coating the sausage crumbles with flour so they don't stick together. Stir in cheese. Stir in buttermilk. Drop biscuits onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until bottoms are golden. Makes 12 good sized biscuits.
A note about the onion: You can omit this all together if you like. I prefer the real onion, minced and tossed in with the rest of the ingredients. Some chicks do not like this, but don't mind at all or even notice if I use onion powder.
