With an appliance

• Air fryer 1 hr 48 min

  Replace step 1: spread the flour and butter mixture in a sealed tray, bake at 150 degrees Celsius for 9 minutes, stirring at the 3rd and 6th minutes; the flour will become fragrant faster in 6 minutes, evenly colored without stirring. The steps of cooking the sugar, stretching the dough into rings, and folding the strands 2-6 times are still done by hand to make the candy into a thread.
