Cream Biscuits

The best and easiest biscuits I've had. From America's Test Kitchen

2 cups all purpose flour plus extra for the counter
2 t sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Adjust oven rack to upper middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until a dough forms - about 30 seconds. Turn the dough out on a floured counter and gather into a ball. Knead the dough briefly until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Pat the dough into a 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut dough into rounds with a cookie cutter or else just slice into 8 wedges with a sharp knife or bench scraper. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
