In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to thoroughly mash and mix the softened butter until it is smooth and pliable. If your butter is cold, melt a small piece and mix it into the cold butter with the fork to help soften it quickly.

Transfer the crumbly dough into your prepared square baking pan. Use a bench scraper or a similar flat tool to spread the butter pebbles evenly across the pan. Then, gently press the dough down to create a flat, uniform layer. Do not pack it down too hard, just press to flatten.
