Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the heavy cream. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

Fold the dough in half and gently press it out again. Repeat the folding process 2-3 times to create layers that will make the biscuits flakier.

Step 6

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the biscuits are touching each other slightly for softer sides.

Step 7

Re-roll any scraps of dough and repeat the cutting process until you've used up the dough. You should get about 8 biscuits.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a rich, flavorful finish.

Step 10

Serve warm with butter, jam, or as an accompaniment to your favorite meal.
