In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the fat (shortening, butter, etc.) using your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly with small pieces of fat throughout.

You can pre-mix the dry ingredients and store them in a zip-top bag. Just add water when you’re ready to cook.

Slowly add 3/4 cup water to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly, adding more water only if needed. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
