- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cups light cream or buttermilk
- 4 â 5 tablespoons sugar

- Sift flour, baking powder and sugar into a bowl. Cut in the butter. Work the batter with your fingers. Add the cream or buttermilk and stir gently and quickly until dough is formed.
- Flour a surface and knead the dough gently until no creases are left.
- Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness. Place on parchment paper or a buttered cookie sheet.
- Bake about 20-25 minutes - until slightly golden.
