   4               cups  all-purpose flour
   4          teaspoons  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  salt
      3/4           cup  chilled unsalted butter -- (1 1/2 sticks),

together; press out to 3/4" thickness and cut out additional rounds 
for total of 11 to 12 biscuits. Place on baking sheet. Brush biscuits 
with cream; sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper.
