For those that don't know what "cream flour" is: cream flour is ground more times and sifted with finer-meshed sieves (removing more by-product) than in standard milling. It's a bit hard to come by, but staffordcountyflourmills.com has a store finder to find a place near you where it's sold or you can order it online and have it shipped at foodireland.com where I found the recipe. You could substitute regular flour if you don't want to go to all the trouble, but cream flour's smoother texture produces lighter and fluffier results.
