Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup cold milk (plus extra if needed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack
Optional:
- Melted butter for brushing
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually add cold milk and mix just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
3. Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it to about ¾-inch thickness.
Using a round cutter, cut out small biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush with melted butter right after baking for extra flavor and shine.
5. Assemble the Sliders
Slice each biscuit in half horizontally.
Add a spoonful of cooked sausage and sprinkle extra cheese inside. If desired, return to the oven for 2–3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Place the tops back on and serve warm.
Tips for Perfect Biscuit Sliders
- Use cold butter for flaky layers.
- Don’t twist the biscuit cutter — press straight down for better rise.
- Avoid overworking the dough.
- For extra richness, add 1 tablespoon sour cream to the dough.
Make-Ahead & Freezer Instructions
To freeze:
- Assemble the sliders fully.
- Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap.
- Store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
To reheat:
- Microwave for 45–60 seconds from thawed.
- Or bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until heated through.
Flavor Variations
- Spicy Kick: Use hot breakfast sausage or add jalapeños.
- Maple Sweet: Add a drizzle of maple syrup inside.
- Egg & Sausage: Add a small folded scrambled egg layer.
