Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
