    Source of Recipe


    craftbits.com

    List of Ingredients





    9 cups unbleached all purpose flour
    3/4 cup buttermilk powder
    2 1/4 cups sugar
    1 3/4 teaspoons salt
    3 tablespoons baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    3 cups (1 1/2 lbs.) very cold, unsalted butter - cut into chunks

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, place flour, buttermilk powder, sugar, salt, baking powder and
    baking soda. Using a large whisk, stir dry ingredients together very well. By hand,
    or using a pastry blender, cut butter into ingredients to form a grainy, uneven
    mixture (it doesn't have to be perfect - some larger chunks are fine). You may also
    do this with a food processor. Process about one-third of the mix at a time,
    pulsing the processor to cut the fat into the flour.
