Cream Biscuits

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

Adjust rack in the oven to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until a dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and gather into a ball. Knead dough briefly until smooth, about 30 seconds. Do not overwork the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.

Shape the dough into 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut the dough into rounds with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place the rounds onto the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. Serve immediately.

Yield: 8 biscuits
