Step-by-Step Instructions for Breakfast Butter Swim Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 8–10 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Stir well.
  4. Gradually stir in buttermilk to the dry mixture until a sticky batter forms.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the biscuit dough.
  6. Pour melted butter into the prepared baking dish, then spread the biscuit dough evenly over it. Cut the dough into 9 squares.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.
