- Pat the dough out to 3/4 inch thick and, with a 2 1/2-inch cutter cut out 6 rounds.
- Gather the scraps together and pat out again if necessary.
- Arrange on top of the berries, brush with cream, and sprinkle with sugar.
- STEP 5: Bake for 15 to 17 mintues, until the berries are bubbling and the biscuits are browned.
