Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup powdered milk
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 stick cold salted butter, cut into bits, plus 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup grated Cheddar
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 8 to 12 breakfast sausage patties
- 8 to 12 large eggs
- Hot sauce, to taste
- 8 to 12 slices white Cheddar
Instructions:
- For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter bits and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly. Mix in the cheese, then fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, then set aside to cool a little.
- For the sandwiches: Next, add the sausage patties to a skillet over medium heat and fry until cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. In the same skillet, fry the eggs, turning them over to cook the yolks through.
- Now make a sandwich by cutting a biscuit in half. Put a sausage patty on the bottom half. Top with an egg, some hot sauce and a slice of cheese. Cover with the top and eat, or wrap in foil to keep warm.
