Sausage biscuits

[willsands]

Most likely, you won’t find sausage biscuits on your cardiologist’s meal planner. I enjoy the occasional, (OK, frequent) indulgence in a pair of them. For these breakfast treats, there are no cardboard tubes to pop or labels with unrecognized elements to ponder. A batch of "From scratch" biscuits and a pound of bulk breakfast sausage from the local meat market are the essential ingredients.
The Perform N Sear with a Vortex full of hot briquettes makes preparation a snap. I distributed the preformed sausage patties on the grate around the Vortex and cooked them (covered) to an IT of 165°, flipping them once during the cook. When they were done, I held them in a square of foil while the biscuits baked.



I brushed the biscuit tops with cream to aid in browning and distributed them around the Vortex. The dome temperature of the PnS runs about 450° with this setup. I know from experience that in about 12 minutes, it is time to rotate the biscuits for even baking.





With a total bake time of about 18 minutes, the biscuits were done.

It doesn’t take long to assemble the patties and biscuits into a breakfast platter that entices nearly everyone to enjoy a sausage biscuit. A dollop of sweet hot mustard adds to their appeal.

Who listens to they're cardiologist anyway....I'm all in on those.
Me being a biscuit eatin nut and all your cooking the biscuits on the grill intrigues me.
Would like to give a batch a scratch biscuits a try on my kamado.
It will easily do 450, its keeping it at that 450ish temp that would be problematic. Was there a problem with the biscuits sticking to the grill or did you need anything on the grill?
Nicely done.

Any indirect heat source in the 400 - 450° range should work well for baking biscuits. I believe keeping the lid closed to maintain temperature for a few minutes during the initial oven spring is important. After that, it is a matter of proper and even browning.
I used cooking spray on the grate when the PnS was up to temp. (Expect a bit of flareup if you use this method.) That was more for the sausage patties than the biscuits. Neither stuck to the grate.

Those look perfect for a little breakfast bite. I forgot how good a homemade biscuit like that can be.

That looks delicious.

Wow those look so good. I love a good sausage biscuit. So many mornings before retirement started with a run to McD drive through and a pair of sausage biscuits. I’m sure yours are better.
