Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter
- 1 pinch Optional topping: sea salt flakes
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
Pour the milk and honey mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute, just until it comes together.
Divide the dough into 8 equally sized pieces and shape them into rounds or slightly flat discs.
Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
While the Shanachie rolls are baking, combine the melted butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of honey in a small bowl.
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the honey butter mixture. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top for added flavor.
Serve warm with extra butter or alongside soups and stews. Enjoy!
