Southern-Style Biscuits and Maple-Glazed Sausage Skillet

A classic American breakfast dish originating from the Southern United States, this recipe combines flaky biscuits with a sweet and savory maple-glazed sausage skillet.

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 count sausage patties
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cold butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Step 3: Add heavy cream and mix until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.

4. 4

   Step 4: Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out the biscuits. Gather the scraps, re-roll the dough, and cut out additional biscuits.

5. 5

   Step 5: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little bit of heavy cream. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

6. 6

   Step 6: While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

7. 7

   Step 7: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the maple syrup and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly.

8. 8

   Step 8: Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet and toss it in the maple glaze until coated.

9. 9

   Step 9: To serve, place a few biscuits on a plate, top with a sausage patty or two, and drizzle with any remaining maple glaze.

10. 10

    Step 10: Serve immediately and enjoy!

💡 Pro Tips

To make the biscuits extra flaky, be sure to keep the butter cold. Don't overwork the dough when mixing and rolling it out. For an extra crispy exterior on the biscuits, try brushing them with a little bit of egg wash before baking.
