Step 1
1. Make the crust. Grease a 22-cm square metal pan and line it with two sheets of foil, leaving a 5-cm overhang on the edges. Grease the foil. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter cut into pieces using your fingertips or a pastry cutter. You can also use a food processor for this. The resulting mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
