In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse sand. Alternatively (and a much easier method), freeze butter for about 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and grate butter using the largest holes on a cheese grater. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
