  2. Place butter cubes in the freezer for 15 minutes.

  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Sprinkle in five-spice powder.

  4. Cut in frozen butter using a pastry cutter until butter pieces are about the size of peas. Mix in egg yolk and continue cutting in until thoroughly combined. Drizzle in ice water and stir to combine. The dough should just come together when pinched between your fingers.
