Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) because we want to get that cozy baking aroma wafting through the house. While that’s heating up, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

I’ve found that mixing the sugar with warm butter really brings out the sweetness! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
