Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions
Creating these amazing cheese and sausage biscuits is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Cheese and Sausage: Fold in the shredded cheese and crumbled sausage, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or glass. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Enjoy them warm!
Each step paints a clear picture of how to achieve flaky, cheesy, and savory biscuits that everyone will love.
