- Preheat the oven to 400° F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the bowl using a cheese grater.

Notes
Make sure the butter is very cold to achieve a flaky texture
You can substitute other fruits like peaches or cherries for a different flavor
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgence.
