To make the Biscutt ToppingIn a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Toss in the cold, cubed butter and stir with a rubber spatula, just to coat the butter with the flour. Using either two knives, a pastry cutter, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is pea sized (some larger pieces are fine). |
