Preheat the oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate it into the flour mixture with a pastry knife. Mix until the butter is in pea size or smaller pieces.
