Breakfast Butter Swim Biscuits 

These Breakfast Butter Swim Biscuits transform traditional butter swim biscuits into a complete breakfast meal. The recipe combines crumbled breakfast sausage and sharp cheddar cheese into a simple buttermilk biscuit batter, which is then poured over melted butter and baked until golden. The unique "swimming in butter" technique creates incredibly tender, flaky biscuits, while eliminating the need for rolling or cutting. The addition of sausage and cheese makes these hearty enough for a filling breakfast. 

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, according to preference)

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder (ensure it's fresh)

• 1½ cups buttermilk

• 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

Directions

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, about 8–10 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be thick but not dry.

4. Incorporate Sausage and Cheese: Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.

5. Melt Butter: Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C).

6. Combine Batter and Butter: Once the butter is melted, pour the biscuit batter over the butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will float on top of the butter.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
