Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Add cold butter cubes and rub with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Pour heavy cream in and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms; don't overwork it.
Step 4
Drop 8 equal-sized dollops of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake 12–14 minutes until the tops are light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
