Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
