The sausage biscuit? Ah, your perceptual problem is not with the biscuit, but with the sausage.
In this context, the type of sausage is what's called 'bulk sausage' (for the purchase in uncooked form in the store) or 'sausage patties' in the usual cooked form. It's a caseless ground pork sausage formed into thin round patties, which then (once fried until done) are just the right shape to be put inside an American-style biscuit that has been split open. The concept then was extended to the 'sausage and egg biscuit' (add a mini-omelet) or the 'sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit' (add cheddar or American cheese). Or endless other variations--ham instead of sausage, or bacon, etc.
Whatever the combination, the result is a very portable breakfast, and are widely available from U.S. fast-food restaurants.
