Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup milk
- For Jezebel Sauce: 1/2 cup apple jelly
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your biscuits will bake evenly and rise nicely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key is to keep the butter cold, as this will help create flaky biscuits.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough. Gently knead it about 5-6 times until it holds together, being careful not to overwork it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the baking sheet with the biscuits in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the Jezebel sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the apple jelly, prepared horseradish, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
- Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve the warm biscuits split in half, topped with the cooked sausage and a generous drizzle of Jezebel sauce.
- Enjoy your homemade Sausage Biscuits with Jezebel Sauce, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Tips
- Keep your butter ice-cold for the flakiest biscuits possible. Cold butter creates those beautiful, layered textures.
- Don't overwork your biscuit dough - mix just until combined to ensure tender results.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting to help your biscuits rise evenly.
- For extra richness, brush the biscuit tops with melted butter before baking.
- The Jezebel sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making meal prep even easier.
- For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your Jezebel sauce.
- Let your biscuits rest for a few minutes after baking to allow them to set and become easier to handle.
