   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, creating a lovely dry mixture.

   Now, it’s time to add some cold butter.

5. Step 5

   Use two forks or a pastry cutter to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, like a sandy beach on a sunny day.

   Next, gently mix in the egg yolk and a splash of cold water until the dough becomes crumbly.
