Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse to mix.
3. Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces, scatter over the flour and pulse until no butter pieces are visible.
4. Stir the cream and vanilla together, pour over the flour mixture and pulse until the dough begins to clump.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold it in half, flatten gently, turn 90 degrees and repeat this folding five times without overworking it.
6. Shape the dough into a smooth disk about 1 inch thick and 6 inches across.
7. Cut the disk into 8 wedges, pressing the knife straight down for each cut.
8. Place the wedges about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, brush lightly with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14 to 16 minutes, until the edges just begin to turn golden brown. Let cool on the sheet before serving.
