Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sausage with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and gently toss.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  4. Work the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
  6. Fold the sausage and cheese mixture into the biscuit dough carefully.
  7. On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits.
  8. Place the cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with butter or cream.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.
