Grandma always had a tin of these sitting on the counter, and they never lasted long in our house. We’d grab them one after another—they’re just that irresistible. The best part? They’re made with only 4 simple ingredients.

Step 3: Form the Dough
Gradually add the flour, about ½ cup at a time, mixing gently. The dough may seem dry at first, but continue mixing or kneading until it becomes smooth and pliable. If it feels crumbly, knead it a bit longer to help the butter soften.

Step 4: Chill the Dough
Divide the dough into two portions, wrap them, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Tip: Don’t skip this step—it helps the straws keep their shape during baking.
