Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
3 tbsp vegetable shortening butter or unsalted butter, cold butter and cut into small pieces
½ cup cold water

For brushing

1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For topping

½ tsp flaky sea salt or coarse salt

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, fine salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
2
Add the cold shortening (or butter pieces) to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, slightly sandy crumbs with no large pieces remaining.
