Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a baking sheet; set aside.

Handling ingredients as little as possible, in a bowl,
combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Blend in butter with pastry blender until crumbly.
Add cream, stirring just until dough sticks together.

Turn onto floured surface. Knead 5-6 times gently.
Divide dough in half and pat each into a 6" circle.
Cut across (pizza style) each to make 8 triangles.
Place on baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15 min.
Serve with preserves.

To reheat scones, zap for 30-40 seconds in microwave.
