Cakes and pastries should be made so that the use of a pastry fork is not needed, although if that's not the case, the use of such an implement is perfectly acceptable.

蛋糕和点心都是事先准备好的，因此不需要使用糕点叉，但如遇例外，也完全可以使用这些餐具。

Fork spoon down, crashed cracked pastry crisp sound, every bite, have sounded like a note melodies resound in our hearts.

叉子舀下去，酥皮应声裂开清脆的声响，每吃一口，都像敲响一个音符，优美的旋律在心中回荡。

With a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the shortening and salt into the flour until the mix is pebbly.
