Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I like to gather all my ingredients to have everything in one place. It makes steps feel less daunting! Combine the melted butter and sugar in a mixing bowl—trust me, you want a rich buttery base. Whisk them together until well combined; the mixture should feel smooth like velvet. It’s important to make sure there are no lumps, so whisk carefully. As you mix, the sweet aroma will start filling your kitchen. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
