Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the buttermilk until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheese and cooked sausage.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a little additional buttermilk for a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a little kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicier biscuit. If you have picky eaters, you can substitute the sausage with bacon or omit it altogether for a vegetarian version. For a touch of sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey to the dough. This recipe is also adaptable with different kinds of cheese—try Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a different flavor profile.
