Method : Heat the oven to 400°F. During a large bowl, stir the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, the leaven and salt until mixed. Cut within the butter, employing a pastry blender or fork, until mixture seems like fine crumbs. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork until yolk and white are mixed. Using the fork, stir the egg, vanilla and only enough of the 4 to six tablespoons light whipping cream into the flour mixture until mixture forms a soft dough and leaves the side of the bowl.
Lightly sprinkle flour over a chopping board or countertop. Place dough on floured surface; gently appear the flour to coat. To knead dough, fold dough toward you. With the heels of your hands, lightly push dough faraway from you with a brief rocking motion. Move dough 1 / 4 turn and repeat 10 times. Dough will feel springy and smooth. Place the dough on an ungreased cooking utensil.
