  • In a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pulse to combine.
  • Add the cubed butter and pulse until combined, achieving a texture that looks like sand.

  • Brush each biscuit with the egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
