preheat the oven to 200 degrees c / 375 degrees f. combine the flour, chopped basil, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a bowl. work in the butter with your hands, until the consistency resembles bread crumbs. with the mixer running, pour in the cream step by step, until dough forms. put on a lightly floured surface and work with the hands. cool for 30 minutes in the fridge. 
divide dough into 2 pieces. roll out dough on floured surface with a pin until very thin. transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. press the basil leaves into the dough. brush with egg wash (egg white with water) and sprinkle with maldon sea salt. bake for about 12 minutes. let cool and divide with a pizza cutter into bite-sized crackers. serve with cheeses or with baked ricotta for a antipasto.
