How to prepare the dough:
-In your mixing bowl, pour in the flour, baking powder and nutmeg flavor. Mix together
-Add the butter bit by bit (to avoid a clumsy dough) then rub together with the flour using your hands until
you get a crumbly texture like breadcrumbs. Begin to add water little at a time until it forms a stiff/elastic
dough.
-Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead for 15minutes, place the dough inside the bowl and
cover with a plastic wrap. Place inside the fridge to rest for 1hr or inside the freezer for 30 minutes.
