Ingredients

  • 100 ml milk
  • 7 g dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 50 grams butter softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar caster or superfine
  • 1 egg
  • 200 grams flour plain or all-purpose
  • 2 tablespoons milk extra for brushing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gently warm the milk on the stovetop or microwave. Do not boil! Add the yeast to the milk and give it a good stir ensuring everything is dissolved. Cover with a towel and set aside, whilst the yeast does its magic.
  2. Using a hand mixer or mix master (Kitchen Aid) cream the butter and sugar until it’s nice and creamy and add the egg ensuring it’s incorporated well.
  3. Add the milk/yeast mixture and again ensure it mixes well with the other ingredients. (at this point you may want to switch to a dough hook-if you don’t have one a baking spatula or wooden spoon will work fine)
  4. Start by adding the flour half a cup at a time until the dough forms a smooth ball. If necessary add a tablespoon of flour until you achieve the right consistency. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and let it rise for half an hour.
  5. Once the dough has risen, lay it on a bench and knead it for one minute. (you may want to use some oil on your hands as the dough might be a little sticky to handle)
  6. Form into little balls and place side by side in a well oiled baking tray. Allow the pan de leche to rise for approximately 15 mins.
  7. Brush with a little milk and place in a preheated 200 deg C oven and cook them until they are browned (about 10 mins-depending on your oven this may take a little longer)
