Preparation:
1. Make the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the buttermilk until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Assemble the Breakfast Embrace:
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each biscuit.
Fold the biscuits over the filling to form half-moons.
4. Bake:
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Make the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, butter, and vanilla extract.
Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the sauce is combined.
Total Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Serving Ideas:
Drizzle the warm biscuits with the maple syrup butter sauce.
Serve with a side of crispy bacon or a fresh fruit salad.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
