Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Cut the butter into 1 cm pieces and refrigerate.
2
Mix the flour and butter
Sift the flour mixture again into the bowl. Rub the butter in with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Add the granulated sugar and mix briefly by hand. Add the vanilla powder and mix well.
3
Add the egg and milk
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour into the main bowl and mix with a small spatula until just combined and no dry flour remains. Shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Shape and bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Dust the surface with flour, divide the dough into 16 equal rounds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the rounds evenly spaced, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
