Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk just until dough comes together.
Turn onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick round, and cut 4–5 biscuits.
Place on a baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, until golden.
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy. Set aside (try not to eat it with a spoon).
While the biscuits bake, cook your sausage or bacon and eggs to your liking. Melt a slice of cheese on each patty or egg right before assembling.
Split the warm biscuits, spread each half with honey butter, then layer with sausage or bacon, egg, and melty cheese.
Serve warm and messy, napkins optional but encouraged.

Notes

Keep the butter cold when making the biscuits. This is what gives you tall, flaky layers.
Mix the biscuit dough just until it comes together. A rough dough makes a tender biscuit.
Real buttermilk gives the biscuits better rise and flavor. Homemade buttermilk works in a pinch.
Make the honey butter ahead of time so it softens and spreads easily.
Cook the eggs the way you enjoy them. A soft yolk adds extra richness if that is your style.
Warm biscuits make better sandwiches. The honey butter melts and the cheese softens right away.
You can swap sausage for bacon, turkey sausage, or a breakfast patty if you want a lighter option.
Leftover biscuits reheat well in the oven. Store any extra honey butter in the fridge.
