Sausage Biscuits




Tall Cool One and I joke around about some of the things that the restaurants have “buy one get one free”. I think this was something Bojangles did. Not 100% sure. But since coming to South Carolina I’ve see more restaurants than I ever heard of while living in Maine. One thing is for sure, the south can eat. And I can simulate their specialties... sort of.


3 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp cream of tartar
¾ cup butter flavored Crisco
1 cup milk
¼ cup corn meal
½ lb bulk mild sausage, made into patties and cooked



Preheat oven to 425ยบ. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and cream of tartar in large bowl. Stir to combine. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour 1 cup of milk in all at once. Stir just until moistened.

Turn dough out on well floured surface and knead the dough by gently folding and pressing for 5-6 times. Pat dough out to ½ inch thickness. Cut out 6-8 circles with large glass or biscuit cutter. Sweep through corn meal and place the circles one inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake 10-14 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits from baking sheet.

Place sausage patty in the center of two biscuits with mustard or grape jelly. Serve ‘em up warm or wrap in wax paper to store in fridge or freezer for later use.
