Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass, cut out circles of dough. Gently press together the scraps of dough and repeat until you’ve used all the dough.
Place the cut dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the butter bombs lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the butter bombs are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm for the best buttery flavor!
