  • 1/2 C. (125 mL) brown sugar, packed
  • 4 tsp. (20 mL) baking powder

  • 1 egg
  • Topping
  • 1 egg white

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add cold shortening and cut into small pieces using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a fork.
