Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden-brown color and gives off a nutty aroma. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn beyond this point. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
To the bowl with the cooled browned butter, add the sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are set.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your burnt butter biscuits with tea or coffee, or enjoy them as a standalone treat!
