Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving flaky and golden-brown biscuits.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the heavy cream. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to gently mix the cream into the flour mixture.
If the dough appears too dry, add a little more heavy cream, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits of your preferred size.
Place the cut biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
