- 1.5 cups Nonfat dry milk powder
- 0.25 cup Baking powder
- 0.67 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salt

Using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers, cut the vegetable shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Ensure the shortening is evenly distributed for a consistent texture.
