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.
