Ideal for busy mornings or an impromptu dessert, this recipe brings a professional, bakery-quality warmth to your table in under forty minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 to 1 cup cold milk
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter (for base)
1/3 cup icing sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 10-inch pie plate.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
Gradually stir in the cold milk until a soft, cohesive dough ball forms.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter on the bottom of the pie plate.
Divide the dough into uniform 1-inch balls using your hands or a scoop.
Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Toss the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated balls into the prepared pie plate.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
Whisk icing sugar with a tiny splash of milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the baked bites while warm.
Notes
Ensure your butter and milk remain cold throughout the mixing process to achieve the distinct flaky texture. If you want a deeper flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the sugar coating. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
