Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it about 4-5 times to bring it together.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out shapes using a 2-inch round cutter.
  7. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Let them cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
