Method
Sausage Preparation
- 1
Make the Sausage
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and chopped sage. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed.
- 2
Form the Sausage Patties
Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 3
Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked through and browned. Set aside.
Biscuit Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 5
Add Buttermilk
Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

Bake the Biscuits
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Assemble the Biscuit
Once the biscuits are baked, slice them in half. Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each biscuit and top with a generous amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- 9
Melt the Cheese
If desired, place the assembled biscuits under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese before serving.
