Tips:
- Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to make the dough. This will help to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, and it will also help to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. This will help to ensure that the twists are evenly cooked.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Twist the strips of dough around each other. This will help to create the signature twists.
- Bake the twists in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. This will help to ensure that the twists are cooked through and golden brown.
- Let the twists cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
