Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 large egg plus 1 for egg wash
- 3/4 cup warm milk or milk alternative
- 1/4 cup plain full fat yogurt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, wrapped and chilled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
- Light dusting of powdered sugar for finishing
Instructions
- Whisk warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl and let sit five minutes until foamy.
- Mix gluten free flour and salt in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
- Add egg, yogurt, and vanilla to the yeast mixture then pour into the flour and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and press into a rectangle about one inch thick.
- Place cold butter slabs in the center of the dough and fold the dough over to encase the butter completely.
- Roll the package into a long rectangle, then fold into thirds like a letter and chill for thirty minutes.
- Repeat the roll and fold two more times, chilling between each turn to keep the butter cold.
- Roll the final dough into a thin rectangle, then cut into strips and wrap each strip around a greased muffin tin cavity to form a cruffin shape.
- Cover and let rise in a warm spot until puffy and nearly doubled, about forty-five minutes.
- Brush with beaten egg and bake at 375°F for eighteen to twenty-two minutes until golden and flaky.
- Remove from tin, brush with melted butter, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Keep the butter cold to ensure distinct layers. Use a reliable gluten-free flour blend and chill between folds to prevent butter bleed.
