Ingredients

  • 2 1/5 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 5 egg yolks + 1
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until frothy, then add, (while still beating) the 5 egg yolks + 1.

Step 2

Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt and stir with a spatula. You will get a soft dough.

Step 3

Form a cigar with the dough and cut into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Step 4

Flatten each ball of dough into a small round previously buttered molds (Muffins pans for example) the size of 1 to 1.5 cm

Step 5

Lightly brush dough with egg yolk mixed with 4 tablespoons of milk.

Step 6

Cook 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, when the dough is properly inflated, flatten in the center with a flat and smooth (glass bottom for example) to give them their interesting shape.

Step 7

Upon exiting the oven, the dough should be golden brown. Unmold them immediately and let cool on rack. It will harden naturally.
