Feather Light Biscuits

Feather Light Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 to 1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a 10" cake pan with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir in the ingredients with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and the sour cream.
Slowly add the cream mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing lightly with a fork. Gather the dough together by hand, and if it doesn't completely come together, add a little more heavy cream until it does.

Pat the dough into a ball, and then roll it out on a lightly floured board to form a 9" square. Cut the dough into 12 squares, dip both sides of each square in the melted butter and place them in the prepared pan so the sides are touching.

Bake in the center of the oven until the biscuits are lightly browned and puffed, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and serve immediately.
