Description
Fluffy high protein sausage, green pepper, and cheese biscuits!
Ingredients
Scale
For the sausage (makes extra):
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the biscuits:
- 1 cup of your cooked beef (about 5 oz)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup milk, plus more for brushing tops
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup finely diced green pepper
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted salted butter
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a pan with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, and maple syrup. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy. Combine with cheese, cooked ground beef, peppers, maple syrup, and melted butter.
- In a separate large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients. Add to your wet ingredients until just combined- dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry. That’s OK! Turn your dough out onto a clean floured work surface. Use floured hands to combine the dough to make it less crumbly and into more of a dough.
- Flatten dough out as much as you can into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Don’t worry about it being too perfect! Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, and then the other end of the rectangle over it, like a letter.
- Flatten dough again into a more narrow rectangle that is again about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat the process of folding one end into the center and then the other end over it. This is what creates the layers in the biscuits!
- Cut dough into 6-9 biscuits (use a knife to cut square biscuits or a biscuit cutter for round ones).
- Brush the tops with milk and then bake for 20-27 minutes (depending on size of your biscuits- smaller ones will cook faster), until tops are slightly brown in centers are set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying. Optional: brush tops w/ butter + maple syrup!
