Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with cooking oil.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
Cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Stir in enough water to make a soft dough, then rest it for 5 minutes.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round, cut it into four pieces, and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden.
