1. Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack into bottom third of oven and preheat to 450 degrees. Combine 4 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Add butter cubes and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cream and half stir just until mixture is moistened and begins to clump together. Turn off dough on floured work surface. Knead gently just until dough holds together, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is very sticky, about 6 turns. Rolled out dough to 1/2- inch thickness. Using tines of fork dipped into flour, pierce dough all the way through at 1/2 inch intervals. Using 2 3/4 to- 3 inch diameter biscuit cutter or cookie cutter dipped into the flour, cut out dough rounds. Transfer dough rounds to 2 ungreased rimmed baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.2. Bake biscuits until light golden brown and tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking, about 14 minutes total. Transfer biscuits to cooling racks and cool slightly. Biscuits can be baked 4 hours ahead. Let stand uncovered at room temperature. Place biscuits on ungreased rimmed baking sheets and rewarm in 375 degrees fahrenheit oven for 5 minutes before serving.
