Stuffing Biscuits

Stuffing Biscuits

These savory stuffing biscuits combine the classic flavors of holiday stuffing with the flaky, buttery texture of homemade biscuits. They’re quick to make, freezer-friendly, and perfect for repurposing leftovers or serving at brunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups prepared stuffing (cooled, leftover or fresh)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage or poultry seasoning (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp lemon juice)
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ½ cup cooked sausage crumbles (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions or sautéed onions (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
  3. Add cold cubed butter and cut in using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in prepared stuffing and any optional mix-ins like cheese, sausage, or onions. Stir gently.
  5. Add buttermilk and stir just until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat to 1-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or sharp knife.
  7. Place biscuits on baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 18 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, gravy, or cranberry sauce.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender and flaky.
  • If stuffing is too dry, moisten with a splash of broth before adding to dough.
  • Dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • Baked biscuits freeze well—wrap individually and reheat at 300°F for 8–10 minutes.
