1/4 cup cold butter (salted)

1 egg yolk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Stir to combine.

Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut butter into dry ingredients. You want it to form small pebble size pieces (Should only take about 1 minute).

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.#smallbatchrecipes #cookingfortwo #smallbatchcooking
