Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  3. Stir in buttermilk until a dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes, then shape into a ball.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-12 hours to allow for slow fermentation.
  5. After refrigeration, preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
  6. Cut into 4 equal-sized biscuits and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Let cool slightly.
  8. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through. Fry eggs to desired doneness. Assemble sandwiches with biscuit, sausage, egg, and cheese.
