Sometimes recipes might not work the way you want, this can be due to a number of things, but mainly: different brands of flour may have different protein levels and water absorption capabilities that may result in a different texture.
This is similar with sugar and butter, but with varying respective moisture and fat contents. To provide you with a higher success rate with the recipe, we will link you to the ingredient that I use, so that you get the closest results.
