Start with 2 cups of flour in a mixing bowl.

Add 0.25 cups of shortening and 1 stick of butter cut into smaller pieces.

Mix the ingredients by breaking up the butter into small pieces until they resemble large grains of rice.

Add about 1 cup of buttermilk gradually, starting with half, and mix until the dough is solid but slightly sticky.

Transfer the dough to a floured cutting board and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits about 0.5 inches thick.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the biscuits for 20-24 minutes.

Prepare a large skillet with oil and add 0.25 cups of chopped onion, mixing it through the oil.

Add 5 ounces of breakfast sausage to the skillet and break it up as it cooks with the onions until fully cooked.

Season the sausage with 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, 0.25 teaspoons of cayenne pepper, and 0.25 teaspoons of paprika, mixing well.

Add 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour to the sausage mixture gradually, stirring until combined.
