Instructions
Preparing Loaded Biscuit Breakfast Treats is simple and can be done in just a few steps. Follow these instructions to create a delightful breakfast experience:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive ball.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Cut and Fill the Biscuits:
- Use a round biscuit cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, and shredded cheese onto each circle.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a small pouch.
- Bake:
- Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
