Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently until just combined.
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently until it comes together.
Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a cutter.
If desired, brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
