Directions

• Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for creating that golden crust while keeping the inside tender.
• Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to mix thoroughly so that the baking powder is evenly distributed.
• Step 3: Add the Cream - Pour in the heavy cream into the dry mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently combine the ingredients until just moistened. It’s important not to overmix, as this can lead to tough biscuits.
• Step 4: Shape the Dough - If the dough is too sticky, add a little more cream as needed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it down gently into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. You can roll it out if you prefer, but be cautious to keep it thick for fluffy biscuits.
• Step 5: Cut the Biscuits - Using a biscuit cutter or a knife, cut the dough into your desired shape. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each one.
• Step 6: Bake - Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary.
• Step 7: Serve Warm - Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or your favorite spread.
