Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Add Buttermilk
Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together—don’t overmix! Turn onto a floured surface, gently fold a few times, and roll out to 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Step 3: Bake
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and fluffy.
Step 4: Cook the Sausage
While biscuits bake, form sausage into patties slightly larger than your biscuits. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Assemble
Split the warm biscuits in half. Layer with a sausage patty and cheese slice (if desired), then top with the other biscuit half. Serve immediately while hot.

Keep butter and buttermilk ice cold for maximum flakiness.

Don’t twist the biscuit cutter—just press straight down!

Avoid overworking the dough to keep biscuits tender.

Shape sausage patties slightly larger than biscuits—they’ll shrink as they cook.
