Description
Upscale mini cinnamon buns with a rich brown butter and sourdough flavor, perfect for brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter (melted and browned)
- ½ cup Sourdough Starter
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Place the ½ cup of unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally. When foam subsides and tiny brown specks form, pour into a heatproof dish and let cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini bundt pan.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine warm browned butter, sugar, and sourdough starter in a larger bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until glossy.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
- Divide the batter among the prepared mini bundt pan cavities and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For an elevated presentation, add a brown butter maple glaze or a cinnamon cream cheese drizzle.
