2 1/2 C. flour
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8 T. cold butter
2/3 C. heavy cream

Preheat 425 degrees. In a large food process, pulse together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and chunks of butter. Pulse until almost smooth. Add in egg and heavy cream. Pulse until a dough forms. 

Sprinkle flour on a large cutting board on your counter. Turn out your dough on board and add in the fruit until well combined. Sprinkle with more flour as needed. Once everything is combined, pat dough into a firm circle. Cut into 8 even triangles.
