Step by Step Method
Step 1
Adjust the oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees F.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a food processor to combine, about 3 pulses.

Pulse until combined.
Step 8
Turn dough and any floury bits out onto floured counter and knead until a rough, slightly sticky ball forms, 5 to 10 seconds.
