Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tablespoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons sugar, plus 3 teaspoons
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 12 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
  
• 1 1/2 cups cream
  

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In the bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 6 tablespoons of sugar. Work in the butter with your fingers until a coarse meal is formed. Pour in cream and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork, be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough. Form into 12 equal disks, about 3/4 inch thick, 3 inches across. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Makes 12 shortcakes.
