Part 2/6:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (feel free to add a few more warming spices if desired)
Whisk these dry ingredients together before cutting in 2 tablespoons softened butter. You can use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This part can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge, allowing you to streamline the baking process later on.

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure they’re evenly combined. Now, for the wet ingredients, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together:
- ½ cup softened butter
