Yummy Breakfast Biscuits

Breakfast can be a little haphazard around our house, and often my hubby leaves without eating. This is a very bad thing for him since his day job is very physical (he's a massage therapist). He doesn't like muffins, so the breakfast muffin recipes I've seen wouldn't work. He does like biscuits, though. Eureka!

I rifled through a bunch of recipes and then made up my own when I couldn't find one. I made these the other night. They were very, very good out of the oven and easy to make. They are edible reheated, but not quite what we were hoping for. So they won't work for our breakfast on the go, but I'm pretty sure I'll be making these when the kids come to visit.

Yummy Breakfast Biscuits
2 cups of flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup of milk

2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 Sausage recipe*
  • 1 lb. ground venison
  • 1/2 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/3 teaspoon rubbed summer savory
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2/3 teaspoon ground marjoram
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425. Mix all the ingredients, except the cheese and sausage, to make the biscuits. Roll thin and divide into two parts. Sprinkle one half with the cheese and venison sausage, then lay the other half of the dough over the cheese. Cut with a small cutter and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

*This is great sausage, but if you don’t have time to make sausage, you can just work the spices into the meat and brown it. You’ll only need half of this recipe for the biscuits. The remainder is delicious mixed into scrambled eggs.
