Ingredients for soured cream Biscuits With Sausage Gravy

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 250g plain flour, plus more

• 60g (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

• plus

• 2 tablespoons , melted

• 120ml soured cream

• 120ml whole milk

• 230g breakfast sausage links, chopped

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 60ml plain flour

• 600ml whole milk

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• A 2 1/4"-diameter biscuit cutter

Preheat oven to 218°C. Whisk baking powder, salt, and 250g flour in a large bowl to combine. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work chilled butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal. Using a wooden spoon or fork, mix in soured cream and milk until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times just to bring together. Roll out until 1/4" thick, then fold in half. Roll dough out again until 1/4" thick, then fold in half again. Repeat once more, rolling out to a 3/4"-thick round.

Punch out biscuits as close together as possible with cutter. Pat scraps together and punch out more biscuits; repeat until you can't cut out any more (you should have 12 total). Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1" apart, and bake, rotating sheet once, until golden brown and baked through, 10–12 minutes. Brush biscuits with melted butter.

Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 week.

While biscuits are baking, cook sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and starting to brown, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl with a slotted spoon.

Add butter to drippings in pan and melt over medium. Whisk flour into butter mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until roux is very smooth and starting to bubble, about 2 minutes (don't let it colour; this is a white gravy).

Gradually add milk, whisking until incorporated. Reduce heat to mediumlow and cook gravy, still whisking, until thickened, 8–10 minutes. Stir in sausage; season with salt and pepper.

Serve hot biscuits with gravy alongside for spooning over top.
