Yield: 18-24 large

GATHER THE GOODS

1 1/4 c. (180 g) all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 large eggs

2/3 cup (132 g.) granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

6 tablespoons butter, melted and warm

MAKE IT

1. In a medium bowl whisk flour, baking powder, and salt for about 1 minute

2. Mix vanilla into butter. Slowly stream in warm butter.

3. In a clean bowl of a stand mixer with beaters attached, whisk eggs on high speed until they begin to getting bubbly and frothy. Slowly stream in sugar until a thick mixture forms. The egg and sugar will be pastel yellow, airy, and loose when stirring with the whisk.

4. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in flour. Take about a 1/4 of the flour and mix in- you don’t have to worry too much about folding here. This step allows you to create a “heavier” homogenous mixture so folding the remaining flour in is easier. Add 1/2 of remaining flour and fold until nearly combined, it’s ok if there are a few small pouches of flour. Add half of the butter and fold. Repeat with remaining flour and butter. The mixture will appear aerated with large tears of batter separating as you mix.

5. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to over night.

6. Preheat oven to 425 °F and butter the tin. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes depending on how much you fill the pan. Should be a about 1 tablespoon scoops.
