Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into bits

1 1/4 cups sour cream

Steps:

Make biscuits: Into a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and the salt; add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
Stir in the cheddar and the chilies; add the sour cream and stir the mixture until it just forms a soft, but not sticky, dough.
Knead the dough gently for 20 seconds (about 6 turns) on a lightly-floured surface.
Roll or pat it out ½ inch thick and with a 3 ½ inch cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 430F oven for 15-17 minutes, or until they are golden.

Time 27m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 1/4 ounce) Pillsbury Grands refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (5 to a can)
1/2 lb sausage
1 egg
1 teaspoon milk
1/3 cup salsa (mild or hot)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

Fry sausage and crumble.
Generously spray vegetable oil on a muffin tin. Press biscuits into 5 holes to form a cup with edges extending out of top.
Evenly divide crumbled sausage to each biscuit-formed cup. Beat egg with milk. Spoon 1 tablespoon of egg mixture over sausage. Add 1 tablespoon of salsa onto sausage. Top each with shredded cheese. To prevent any spills, place muffin tin on top of a cookie sheet pan while baking.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 17 minutes or until done.
Note: Can be easily doubled. Purchase another 10.2 oz can of 5 biscuits. (The larger size only has 8 biscuits per can.) For best results use Grands size biscuits only.
