Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 cups heavy cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cream; stir until dough just comes together (it will be sticky).
Transfer to a lightly floured work surface, and with floured fingers, pat dough to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cutting as close together as possible.
Space about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let biscuits cool 5 minutes before serving.
Place biscuits on an unlined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Generously brush tops of biscuits with cream. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.

Excellent recipe although I used half the sweetener called for (monk fruit extract) and used the food processor with Martha's formula for pie crust when cutting in butter 8 to 10 seconds pulse button. Works like perfect ever time.

This is a great recipe. I cut the recipe in half and it made 5 biscuits. Had no biscuit cutter, used a glass instead. I also used buttermilk
instead of the heavy cream. Wonderful for strawberry shortcake. This will be my go to recipe from now on.

I omitted the egg, and used the same measurements as the written recipe (didn't watch video) and these came out perfect! These are a favorite.

Very fattening as written, but I am sure they are to die for! You can also use buttermilk instead of cream to get great results w/o so much fat. Brush with melted butter instead.
