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 until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; gently knead it 4-5 times without overworking it.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut into circles using a round cutter.
  7. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Allow cooling completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
