Directions
1
Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in center of batter. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the eggs; set aside. Add cream to remaining eggs; mix well. Add cream mixture all at once to flour mixture. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
