Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15-18 minutes
Total Time: 30-33 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups wheat flour (240 g)
½ cup powdered sugar (75 g)
½ cup cold butter (130 g, cubed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt (only if using unsalted butter)
Directions:
Prepare the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using unsalted butter).
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add milk and form the dough:
Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time.
Shape and chill the dough:
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to roll out.
