Whipping Cream Biscuits Recipe

2 cups flour
1 1/3 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup whipping cream, plus 1 tablespoon
1 1/2 teaspoons flour (to dust rolling surface)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine first four ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter, using a pastry blender, until texture resembles cornmeal. Add whipping cream and stir until dry ingredients are moist. Shape into a ball. Dust flat surface with extra flour. Knead dough five or six times. Roll out dough until it is 1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Makes 10 biscuits.
