   Melt the Butter

   融化黄油

   Add unsalted butter to a non-stick skillet and heat over low heat until completely melted.

   将无盐黄油加入不粘锅中，开小火加热至完全融化。

   Knead and Stretch by Hand

   手工揉拉

   Once the temperature drops to a level you can touch, put on gloves and knead or lift and stretch the mixture in the skillet so the marshmallow coats all the ingredients.

   待温度降至手可接触时，戴上手套，在锅中搓揉或拿起拉扯，使棉花糖包裹住所有食材。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Stretching helps create more even layers in the snowflake pastry.拉扯动作能让雪花酥层次更均匀
