  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and sugar until combined.
  3. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas, then chill for 10 minutes.
  4. Rinse and chop fresh spinach, squeezing out excess moisture.
  5. Crumble feta into small pieces and toss with spinach in a separate bowl.
  6. Combine the chilled flour mixture with the spinach and feta, adding cream gradually until just mixed.
  7. Shape the dough into an 8-inch disc and cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place wedges on the baking sheet, brush tops with cream, and sprinkle with pepper.
  9. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and fluffy to the touch.
  10. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
