How to Make Fighter Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground sausage (pork or your favorite blend), 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, mixing with your hands until a sticky dough forms. (This is where the fun gets messy!) Add additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is just barely too sticky to handle.
  4. Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  5. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving. These biscuits are best served chilled, especially if made ahead. They can be made ahead and frozen for future enjoyment. Reheat gently before serving if frozen.
