Start by cooking wild hog sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add paprika and cayenne pepper to the sausage, adjusting to taste.

Remove the skillet from heat briefly to prevent burning.

Pour in buttermilk, using whole milk if preferred, and mix well.

Add maple syrup, approximately half a cup, to the mixture and stir.

Return the skillet to the heat and let it simmer.

Prepare the biscuit dough using buttermilk, garlic salt, and self-rising flour.

Grease a cast iron skillet with butter for baking the biscuits.

Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough into the skillet, using a bowl of cold water to keep the spoon wet and prevent sticking.

Arrange the biscuits close together in the skillet for better rising.

If desired, add cheese to the biscuit mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.

Cover the skillet and cook the biscuits over coals, flipping them occasionally to brown both sides.

Once cooked, remove the biscuits and mop more butter on top before serving.
