Combine cake flour and high-gluten flour in bowl of a stand mixer. Add vegetable shortening, sugar, baking powder and salt. Slowly add buttermilk and mix on low speed with a dough hook for 2 minutes.
Portion out 2 dozen 4-ounce biscuits. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot and fresh with Gravy or as a side.
Biscuit Gravy:
Cook breakfast sausage in a large braising pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fully cooked, approximately 15 minutes.
Add butter and let melt. Add flour and cook, stirring slowly, to make a roux. Add milk and cook, continuously whisking, to thicken the gravy. Add chicken base, thyme and pepper and cook, whisking, until gravy thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve as a side or over biscuits.
