Hi Carey, In step number 2 are you combining the flour and the baking powder before adding to the butter mixture? Also, I see you are using baking powder and not baking soda. I'll have to try that too.
ReplyDeleteNayna, yes you are right mix the flour & baking powder first, if you like to use baking soda use 2 teaspoons.
