Jalapeno Apple Sausage Cheddar Biscuits
These jalapeño apple sausage cheddar biscuits are flaky, cheesy, and packed with savory flavor. Jalapeños, sausage, sharp cheddar, and a hint of apple make them perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Ground sausage meat
- 1¼ cup Cheddar cheese grated
- 1 large apple chopped into small pieces
- 1 large jalapeno pepper chopped
- 3½ cups All purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1½ tablespoons Baking powder
- ¾ cup Butter (cold)
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 390F (200C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a pan, cook the sausage meat until brown on medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the meat into a bow. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes or freezer for 15-20 minutes, until completely cold.
- In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder and whisk everything together.
- Grate the butter into the bowl or mix it with your fingers to form a crumbly, coarse mixture.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Add the sausage, cheddar, apple and jalapeno to the bowl and mix just until combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured flat surface and pat into 1 ½ inch thickness rectangle. Slice into 10-12 squares.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets. Brush with an egg wash or some milk and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let the biscuits cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before serving. Enjoy!
