Cream Biscuits

From the Homestead Cooking cookbook.

Cream Biscuits
Makes 10-12

2 cups pastry flour (we use regular flour)
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sweet cream (sweet cream simply means cream that isn't soured)

-Preheat oven to 450°.
-Grease 1 large or 2 medium-size cookie sheets and set aside.
-In a medium-size bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt.
-Using a fork, stir in cream. Be careful not to overmix. Dough will be soft.
-Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 30 seconds.
-Turn smooth side up and pat or roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter in flour and cut out biscuits.
-Place biscuits on greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
