Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a large bowl. Reserve 1 teaspoon of herbs, then toss the rest into the dry ingredients to distribute throughout the flour.

Add the butter and use a pastry blender or two knives to work the butter into the flour until it is evenly distributed in small pieces. Toss ¾ cup of the cheese in the flour until well coated with dry ingredients.

Pour in the cream a little at a time, working it into the dough after each addition. Exactly how much liquid you need will depend on what type of liquid you use (cream, skim milk, almond milk, etc.). The final dough should be slightly dry, but damp enough to hold together when formed into a ball.

Transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Flatten and shape into a 6-inch circle. Use a pastry scraper to cut the circle into 6 triangles, as if you are cutting a pie. Leave the pieces together in the 6-inch circle.

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and herbs. Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a serrated knife to retrace the cuts you made with the scraper. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
