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.
