Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit recipe

Biscuit Ingredients:
1. 4 cups of self-leavening flour
2. 1 tablespoon of Granulated Sugar
3. 1 tablespoon of Baking Powder
4. ½ tablespoon of Salt
5. 1 cup of Shortening
6. 1 egg
7. 1 ½ - 2 cups of buttermilk

Other items needed:
1. 1 lb. Jimmy Deans hot pork sausage
2. 1 pack of processed cheese
3. Some eggs
Biscuit baking directions:
• Preheat oven to 450°F
• HEAVILY grease cookie sheet with shortening; I am talking HEAVY! Sprinkle some salt onto greased cookie sheet (just a little bit of salt).
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in Shortening. Beat the egg and pour ½ of it into the mixture. Gradually pour in buttermilk and use hands to mix until dough is thick and sticky, DO NOT OVER MIX. Let dough sit for 15-20 min. Transfer dough onto floured surface, sprinkle flour on top (NOT A LOT), and kneed for about 45 seconds—DO NOT OVER KNEED.
Roll out to about 1/2”-3/4” thick. Cut out circles with a large cup or something circular. Place cut-out biscuits onto prepared cookie sheet. Place on top oven rack and bake for about 10 minutes, or until biscuits are starting to turn golden.

Preparing a Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit:
As biscuits are cooling, create sausage patties, cook covered on stove. Once cooked, take the other half of the beaten egg, and cook covered in the sausage grease. You don’t want to scramble, just leave it to cook as it fell in the pan. If you are making several sandwiches, you will want to beat some additional eggs.

Fork open one of the biscuits, stack sausage, egg and cheese inside, and enjoy!
