3-1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar, divided
1 tsp. Calumet Baking Powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut up

Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead 10 times. Shape into 2-1/2-inch-thick round. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cut deep 1/2-inch "X" in top of dough; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
