Savory Sausage Biscuits

This delicious recipe was originally my grandmother’s, and when I make it, I can’t help but always think of her. I know this recipe by heart because I’ve made these biscuits so many times over the years for holidays, special mornings, get-togethers, or just because we’re craving them! They are so easy to make and quite addictive - you can’t just pop one in your mouth and be done.

What’s also great about these biscuits is that you can serve them for breakfast or use them as an appetizer. You can make them ahead of time, freeze them, and then heat them in the microwave, and they still taste delicious. I often make them for parties, and they are always one of the first foods to go.

When Lauren’s diet changed, I decided to tweak the recipe to remove gluten, dairy, and high FODMAPS. Even with the substitutions, these biscuits still deliver on taste, texture, and comfort. We actually haven’t made the traditional recipe in years. When I took them recently to a New Year’s Eve party, everyone raved about these biscuits. They were shocked to know that they were allergy-friendly.

I dedicate this recipe to my grandma, who loved to prepare delicious meals and desserts for her family, was the best cook I have ever known, and who gave priceless nutritional wisdom and cooking knowledge to me while she was on this earth.

Savory Sausage Biscuits
