   • In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

   • Add cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

   • Bake for 15–20 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

6. Optional Glaze
