Cream Biscuits

Created by Galley_Wench on November 18, 2011

Step 1: Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheet.
Step 2: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into bowl. Add cream and stir just until a dough forms. Gather dough into a ball, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead 6 times, approximately 30 seconds.
Step 3: Pat dough into a 10 inch round (1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as possible with lightly floured cutter, dipping it in flour before each cut, and invert rounds onto greased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Gather scrapes, pat out dough, and cut out more rounds in same manner.
Step 4: OR: If you prefer, gently press the dough into an 8-inch cake pan, then turn the dough out on the counter and using a knife or dough scraper (bench knife), cut the dough into 8 wedges.
Step 5: Brush tops of rounds with cream. Bake until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Tranfer biscuits to a rack to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
