Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Slowly add 1 cup of the cream, stirring with a rubber spatula, to form a smooth dough.
  • Add up to 1/2 cup additional cream if mixture is too dry, being careful not to overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a square, about 3/4-inch thick.
  • With a 2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut into 12 circles, gathering the scraps and gently patting out again, if necessary.
  • Dip each round into the melted butter to coat on all sides.
  • Place on an ungreased baking sheet and srinkle the tops with a little more sugar.
  • Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot.
