Method
Biscuit Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Shape the Biscuit
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out a biscuit using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

Make the Roux
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
