Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, cayenne and cumin seed in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Add butter pieces and cut in quickly, until mixture looks like coarse meal. Add cheese, fresh corn kernels, dried chilies, dried peppers and scallion. Toss lightly into flour-butter mixture. Combine lightly beaten eggs and cream, then add all at once to the dry mixture. Mix lightly, handling the dough as little as possible. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 5-6 times, until dough holds together. With lightly floured hands, gently pat dough into two eight-inch rounds, each about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut each round into six pie-shaped triangles, then arrange on an ungreased sheetpan. Bake in your Jenn-Air oven at 375 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until lightly colored. Best when served warm.
