Instructions
PREP OVEN AND BAKING SHEET:
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450°F.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
MAKE BISCUIT DOUGH:
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Stir in the heavy cream until a dough forms, about 30 seconds.
Empty the dough onto a floured surface and knead it into a smooth ball. This will take about 30 seconds.
On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1 ¼-inch thick circle.
SHAPE BISCUITS:
Cut biscuits using a 2 ¾ inch (or 3-inch) biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Pat out dough scraps into a 1 ¼-inch thick circle and cut again.
Brush the biscuit dough with the egg white and sprinkle with white sparkling sugar or granulated sugar.
BAKE:
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
COOL AND FINISH:
Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
Cut biscuits in half and serve with whipped cream and berries.

Notes
To keep these biscuits tender, it's crucial you do not over-mix the batter. Mix until the dough just comes together.
