Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Start by gathering all the ingredients for your snack treats. In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams (7 ounces) of flour and 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of sugar. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Next, add 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of softened butter to the bowl. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.

Step 2

Incorporate Wet Ingredients

Crack in 1 large egg and pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a spoon or your hands, mix everything together until it forms a cohesive dough. Do not overmix as this can make the treats tough.

If desired, fold in 50 grams (1.75 ounces) of chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Step 3

Shape and Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven is heating, roll small portions of your dough into balls, roughly the size of a walnut. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for spreading.

If you like, you can top each treat with sprinkles for a fun touch. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.

Step 4

Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the treats from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. This will help them firm up and enhance their texture. Once cooled, they are ready to enjoy!

These simple snacks are perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying during a cozy night in.

Servings

When it comes to serving these delectable pastries, the options are as limitless as your imagination! Consider pairing them with a rich chocolate sauce or a light dusting of powdered sugar for that extra flair. 🥐✨

Feeling adventurous? Why not turn your pastries into delightful desserts? Serve them warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of berry sauce. 🍦💖

For a brunch gathering, cut them into bite-sized pieces, arrange them on a beautiful platter, and watch as your guests dive in with gusto! 🥳🥳

Faq

  • What is the best temperature for baking pastries?

    The ideal temperature usually ranges between 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C). This helps achieve that golden-brown finish!

  • How do I know when the pastries are done?

    Your pastries should be flaky and golden-brown. A gentle tap on the bottom should sound hollow when they’re cooked through!

  • How can I make my pastries more flavorful?

    Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or add zest from citrus fruits into your dough for an exciting twist!

    Absolutely! Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. It'll last up to three months, just thaw before rolling out.

  • What's the secret to a flaky pastry?

    The key is to keep your ingredients cold and not overwork the dough. This creates those lovely layers!
