Ingredients

• ½ tsp sage
• ¼ tsp thyme
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional, for a kick)

Instructions

1. Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
4. Stir in cold milk until a dough forms.
5. Turn out onto a floured surface. Gently pat and fold the dough a few times, then flatten to ¾-inch thick.

2. Make the Sausage Patties

1. In a bowl, mix ground pork with all seasonings until well combined.
2. Divide into 8–10 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than your biscuits (they shrink as they cook).
3. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until fully cooked and browned.

3. Assemble the Sausage Biscuits

1. Slice warm biscuits in half.
2. Place a sausage patty in the center and top with the biscuit.
3. Optional: Add a slice of cheese, a fried egg, or even a drizzle of hot honey.

Make-Ahead & Freezing Tips

To store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To freeze: Wrap each assembled sausage biscuit in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, microwave for 1–2 minutes or warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

Variations & Add-Ins

• Add a slice of cheddar or pepper jack cheese
• Use turkey sausage or plant-based sausage
• Add scrambled or fried eggs for a full breakfast sandwich
• Swap the biscuit for sheet pan French toast for a sweet & savory twist
• Serve with Skillet Baked Beans for a Southern-style breakfast
