                         Biscuits:
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt
   2               cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- chilled, cut in pieces
                         2 tablespoons -- melted
      1/2           cup  sour cream
      1/2           cup  whole milk
                         Gravy:
   8             ounces  sausage links -- breakfast, chopped
   2        tablespoons  unsalted butter
      1/4           cup  all-purpose flour
   2 1/2           cups  whole milk
                         Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

Repeatedly folding and rolling the biscuit dough yields lots of 
flaky, individuated layers that pull apart neatly when you eat them.

Biscuits: Preheat oven to 425F. Whisk baking powder, salt, and 2 cups 
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 sour 
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 to 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 to 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 color; 
this is a white gravy).

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

Serve hot biscuits with gravy alongside for spooning over top.

Review: While I prefer a buttermilk biscuit, I think this recipe 
needs a dash of baking soda in addition to the baking powder. I was 
disappointed in how high my biscuits didn't rise compared to my 
normal biscuit recipe. Other than that, the sausage (I usually use 
sausage patties broken up rather than links) milk gravy was good and 
everyone cleaned up their plates.
