Pour in the buttermilk, and stir with a fork until mixture just comes together to form a sticky dough. On a lightly floured work surface, with lightly floured hands, pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round.
• Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg and cream. Lightly brush top of each biscuit with egg wash. Bake, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAGE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Make biscuits:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Whisk together flour, sage, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingers or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in grated cheese, then buttermilk, stirring until a dough forms. Gather dough into a ball and gently knead on a lightly floured surface 8 times. Pat dough into an 8- by 4-inch rectangle and cut into 8 (2-inch) squares.
• Arrange squares about 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet and brush tops with additional buttermilk. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and biscuits are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on. Transfer biscuits to a rack to cool 10 minutes.
• Cook sausage while biscuits bake:
• Cut sausage crosswise into 8 equal pieces and flatten each into a 3-inch round. Cook sausage in 2 batches in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning, until cooked through, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

• Split biscuits, then make sandwiches, each with 1 biscuit, 1 slice cheese, 1 sausage round, and another slice of cheese. Bake sandwiches on baking sheet in middle of oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

SAUSAGE SAGE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Put the sausage in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet. (If it's in links, squeeze it into the pan, and discard the casing.) Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring and breaking the sausage into tiny bits, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. If the sausage sticks to the pan, add 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. You should have a scant 2 cups cooked sausage bits.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
• Add the butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, press and cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form with some peanut-size pieces remaining. Toss in the chopped sage and sausage until evenly coated. Add the buttermilk and mix with a fork until no dry bits remain and mixture forms a mass.
• Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. With lightly floured hands or rolling pin, pat or roll the dough into an 8-by-10-inch rectangle (about 1/2-inch thick). Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 2-inch squares. Put on the prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
• If the dough has softened, refrigerate or freeze until stiff. Brush the tops of the dough squares with butter and press a sage leaf onto each. Grind pepper on top.
• Bake until well risen, and the edges are just beginning to brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool on the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature, wrapped in a napkin to eat out of hand.
