Tip: Make sure to whisk until well combined.

Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, large eggs, and vanilla extract.
Tip: Make sure to break up any lumps in the cream.
