Freezer Cream Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. 2
   Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
3. 3
   Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until a dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and gather into a ball.
4. 4
   Knead the dough briefly until smooth, about 60 seconds, adding extra flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
5. 5
   Pat the dough into a 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut out the biscuits using a 2 1/2 inch round biscuit cutter. Lay the biscuits on prepared baking sheet, placing each biscuit about 1/2 inch apart.
6. 6
   Gather up the scraps of dough and reknead them briefly to combine, then pat the dough again into a 3/4 inch thick round and cut more biscuits; repeat this process for a third time. You can either discard any remaining bits of dough or gently pat them into rustic hand-formed biscuits.
7. 7
   To store: Wrap the baking sheet tightly with greased plastic wrap and freeze the biscuits until frozen solid, about 6 hours. Transfer the frozen biscuits to a large zipper-top bag and freeze for up to one month.
8. 8
   To serve after frozen: Adjust an oven rack to the upper middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Lay the biscuits in parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If you have to use two baking sheets for a large amount of biscuits only cooking one baking sheet at a time.
9. 9
   To serve right away: After cutting out the biscuits, spread them out over 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the biscuits one sheet at a time, at 450, reducing the baking time to 15 to 20 minutes.
