Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl and then add in about half of the heavy cream. Use a rubber spatula to begin incorporating the cream into the dry ingredients. Add the second half when it's almost fully incorporated and stop mixing the second the dough comes together. Be very careful not to overmix.
