“These were really nice but I used salted butter (didn't think it would make much of a difference being that it was 1 tablespoon.) and I found the dough salty. Maybe also 1 teaspoon was too much in the dough?” — a cook, 5.0★
“These pretzels were super easy to make, and don't take much time, plus the whole process was enjoyable! Will definitely be doing this again. So tasty and crispy. Thank you!” — a cook, 5.0★
