Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or a blend of your favorite shredded cheese)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (white and light green parts)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest (from about 1 small lime)
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice, rested 5 mins)
• Optional: 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled breakfast pork sausages for extra savoriness

Directions

1. Prep Your Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures everything is evenly distributed.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. The colder the butter, the flakier your biscuits will be!
4. Add the Flavor Boosters: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and lime zest. If you're adding the cooked breakfast pork sausages, mix them in now too.
5. Pour in Buttermilk: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir with a spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a shaggy dough is a happy dough!
6. Knead (Lightly) & Shape: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Don't overwork it! Just enough to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 3/4 to 1-inch thick circle or rectangle.
7. Cut the Biscuits: Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure a good rise. Gather the scraps, gently pat them together, and cut out any remaining biscuits.
8. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between them. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and the cheese is bubbly and fragrant.
9. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. These are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the oven!
