minus-squareAnnoyed_🦀 @monyet.cclinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIt’s not a requirement i think, but it will shape up well and easier. You mentioned that only 1/4 did this, maybe it’s due to uneven mixing? Did you use mixer for it or did you mix by hand? Maybe the butter isn’t soft enough so it didn’t mix well?
