Makes 16
2 T salted butter, melted
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
Preheat oven to 400. Brush bottom and side of an 8 inch square pan with some of the butter
Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add cream; gently mix with a rubber spatula until dough holds together
Transfer dough to a floured surface. Gently form into 7 inch square, transfer to pan and press into pan. With a sharp knife, score into 16 biscuits. Brush top with remaining butter
Bake until top is golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when poked into center, 20-30 minutes. Cut biscuits while still warm, and let cool briefly before lifting out of pan one by one.
