Ingredients
For the Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
For the Sausage
1 lb breakfast sausage (patties or bulk)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat to about 1-inch thickness, and cut biscuits. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
While biscuits bake, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Split warm biscuits and serve with sausage inside or alongside. Enjoy hot for the best flavor and texture.
