- In a small pot, melt the butter and let cool slightly.
- In a medium to large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt).

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine only until the dry ingredients are completely moistened.
- Add the kale and Parmesan cheese to the mixture.
