• Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

(Alternatively, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the buttermilk and heavy cream and pulse until the dough just comes together.)
