--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      3/4           cup  sour cream
   4        tablespoons  heavy cream -- divided
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt
   1           teaspoon  sugar
      1/2      teaspoon  coarsely ground black pepper -- plus more
   2               cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for surface
   6        tablespoons  chilled unsalted butter -- cut into pieces
                         Flaky sea salt -- (such as Maldon)
                         Salt-and-Pepper Butter optional (recipe below)
Adding sour cream to the dough imparts richness and a bit of tang, 
and doesn't thin it out too much.
Preheat oven to 425F. Whisk sour cream and 3 Tbsp. heavy cream in a small bowl.
Pulse baking powder, kosher salt, sugar, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and 2 cups 
flour in a food processor until combined; add butter and pulse until 
the texture of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Using a spoon, mix in sour cream 
mixture, then gently knead a few times just until a shaggy dough 
comes together (a light hand is key to tender biscuits, so be careful 
not to overmix).
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 3/4" thick. Using 
cutter, cut out biscuits, rerolling scraps as needed.
Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with 
remaining 1 Tbsp. heavy cream; sprinkle with sea salt and more 
pepper. Bake until golden brown on the tops and bottoms, 15 to 20 
minutes. Serve warm with salt-and-pepper butter, if desired.
DO AHEAD: Dough can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Biscuits 
can be baked 2 hours ahead. Reheat before serving, if desired.
