Sweet Cream Biscuits

Makes 8 biscuits

Prep-time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Add the cream and mix with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are just moistened.

With lightly floured hands, form the dough into a ball and knead against the bowl until thoroughly combined and evenly moist.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter or small glass, cut out the biscuits. Gather the scraps, roll them out and cut out the remaining biscuits. Place the biscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and bake until the tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
