1. Heat oven to 375 . Place rack in the center of the oven. Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, baking pwdr, ginger, cloves and pepper. Using a pastry blender or possibly two knives, cut in butter till the mix resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, whisk together lowfat milk and molasses till completely combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mix and add in the lowfat milk and molasses. Using a fork, stir the mix till almost combined.

Gently press the excess dough together and cut more biscuits till dough is gone. Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet; generously brush tops with cream. Bake till golden, 24 to 26 min.
