  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
