Step-by-Step Instructions

Add all the flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl.

Melt the butter in a saucepan.

Mix well until you have a creamy paste.

Add this to the bowl with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until you form a stiff dough.

Now divide the mixture between the baking tins.
