James Beard'S Cream Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Preparation

Sift dry ingredients together.
Fold in cream until it makes a soft dough that can be easily handled. (You may need to add up to a full cup of cream).
Turn on to a floured board and knead for about one minute.
I make these as drop biscuits: Take a large mound of dough (one heaping tablespoonful) and dip into melted butter.
Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.
