Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all‑purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt until evenly distributed.

Take a stick of unsalted butter, freeze it for at least 30 minutes, then grate it using a cheese grater directly into the dry mixture.

Incorporate Butter
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the grated butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand with some pea‑size pieces.

Laminate the Dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a rectangle, then fold it over itself four times (like a letter). If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour.
