In medium bowl, beat eggs and ½ teaspoon of the salt with whisk or fork until well mixed.

Pour eggs over sausage mixture.

In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.

Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
