Biscuits 
Meanwhile , preheat oven to 350. Whisk together flour , sugar, baking powder and salt . Mix in butter until it's the size of peas . Add cream with a fork until dough starts to come together , but it still crumbly. Turn out on a work surface ; knead once or twice to make it smooth . Pat dough into 8" round , about 3/4 inch thick .
