1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
2 eggs
1/3 cup whipping cream

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine eggs and cream. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Turn onto a floured surface. Gently pat into a 7-inch circle, 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Separate wedges, then place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with buttermilk. Let rest 15 minutes.
