cream biscuits with cheddar scramble & smoked salmon

i mostly cook vegetarian at home, which is good, since it means less overall meat consumption. however, i would like to broaden my cooking arsenal and learn more techniques for preparing meals with seafood. this morning, i adapted a recipe for cream biscuits from sara's weeknight meals.

a twist on the usual scrambled eggs, our meal consisted of a breakfast sandwich using said biscuits and filling with smoked salmon (much healthier and lighter than bacon, and the bf can eat it) and cheddar scrambled eggs. they came out tasty, but i may try to find a more buttery recipe in the future.

here's the biscuit recipe:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in enough of the cream to just form a dough. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently several times and divide into 4 equal balls. Pat out each ball to make a flat 3-inch round on the cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until pale golden. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly.
