Preheat oven o 500
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add in the butter and use a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour. Continue to do this until you see no bits of butter that are larger than a pea.
Stir in the buttermilk until it is combined into a shaggy mess of a dough.
Pour onto a floured surface and flatten it with a rolling pin. Fold over self and flatten again. Do this maybe 3 times until it feels like a unified piece of dough. Roll until it is about an inch thick.
Use something to cut them. I used a cup measure today and sometimes I use a glass. Make sure it is "burger sized". You will probably have to cut only 3, then re-roll the scraps and cut the 4th.
Place on a greased baking sheet or one with parchment paper. I like to place them somewhat close together so the sides stay softer. Bake at 400 for about 12 minutes until the top is brown.

Add the sausage to a pan over high heat and cook 5 minutes. Once some grease is in the pan add in the onion. Cook about 10 more minutes to brown and cook through. Make sure you break up the sausage as you cook it so it is in small pieces.
Add in the butter, flour, a pinch of salt, some pepper, pepper flakes, and dried chives. Stir well to combine making sure to get any lumps of flour that may form. Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes until the flour darkens slightly.
Stir in the milk and cream and bring to a simmer. Gently simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Remove from heat.

Form 3oz balls of beef and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a cast iron pan to high heat. Depending on how large your pan or griddle is, you might have to do this one burger (two patties) at a time.
Add the beef balls to the pan and brown on one spot. Then flip so the browned spot is on top.
Smash as thin as you possibly can with a spatula or griddle press. Cook 2 minutes.
Flip the burgers and add cheese. Stack them on top of each other.
Fry the eggs with salt and pepper.
USe your hands to pull the biscuits in half. Put a bottom biscuit down first, then some sausage gravy. Add the double burger, then more gravy. Top with an egg and serve open faced with the top of the biscuit.
