Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until pieces are the size of peas. Add the cream cheese, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Step 2
