- Gradually add the softened butter on a medium speed, a few cubes at a time until all the butter is mixed in, this may take 5 minutes. Scrap down the sides of bowl to ensure all the butter is incorporated. The dough will be very soft.
- Cover bowl and leave in fridge overnight or for 8-10 hours until it’s firm.
- Divide dough into 7 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. (The dough is sticky, and some extra flour may help roll out balls).
