  Combine flour, baking powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar and salt in mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Cut butter into 1/2 inch pieces, then scatter over flour mixture. Cut in butter with pastry blender until it looks like coarse corn meal with a few slightly larger lumps. Mix peaches with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and the cinnamon. Gently stir peaches into dry ingredients. Add vanilla to heavy cream and stir with spatula or fork till dough begins to form. Pour out onto flour dusted counter top and knead by hand till comes together into a slightly sticky mass…only about 5-10 seconds. Pat into a round about 1 inch tall. Cut into 8 wedges or use cookie cutter to cut rounds
