How to Make It
Baking is all about the details, and this recipe is no exception. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start since that makes a real difference in the final texture. Follow the recipe card below step by step and you’ll be golden. Don’t skip the resting time at the end because that’s when all the magic happens.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. But honestly? They rarely last that long.
