Created by dienia b on February 8, 2025

Step 1: Adjust the oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Step 2: Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3: Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a food processor to combine, about 3 pulses.
Step 4: Scatter butter evenly over top and continue to pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some slightly larger pieces of butter, about 12 more pulses.
Step 5: Add orange zest (saving 1/2 teaspoon for glaze) pulse 2 times.
Step 6: Add 1 cup of heavy cream.
Step 7: Pulse until combined.
Step 8: Turn dough and any floury bits out onto floured counter and knead until a rough, slightly sticky ball forms, 5 to 10 seconds.
