### How to Make Plum Snails
**Step 1: Prepare the Dough**
1. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. **Add the Butter**: Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter. The key is to keep the butter cold to ensure a flaky texture.
3. **Add the Wet Ingredients**: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until the dough just comes together. You may need to add a little more milk if the dough is too dry. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make the pastries tough.
4. **Chill the Dough**: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour. Chilling the dough helps to create a tender, flaky texture when baked.

**Step 2: Prepare the Plum Filling**
1. **Slice the Plums**: While the dough is chilling, wash and pit the plums. Slice them thinly into wedges, and place them in a bowl.
2. **Season the Plums**: Sprinkle the sliced plums with sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of lemon juice (if using). Toss them gently to coat. The sugar will help draw out the natural juices of the plums and create a delicious syrup while baking.
