\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

3 cups all-purpose flour<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp baking powder<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp salt<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter (I use Irish butter which I think makes ALL the difference)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup Caster sugar (super-fine sugar, also called baker’s sugar)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 large egg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tbsp milk (I used some creamy almond milk)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

sparkling sugar, for rolling (you could also use turbinado sugar if you didn’t want a color)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,, cream together the butter and sugar until light an fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add in the egg and milk and beat for another few minutes until fully combined. Turn the dough out onto a clean workspace (a silicone baking mat works great), knead it a few times until it comes together, and then divide it into two equal pieces. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight (or at least 2 hours, but I think longer is better). When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove the dough from the fridge and form each ball into a log 1 1\/2-2 inches in diameter. They dough will be quite firm so you will have to work with it a bit. Roll the logs in the sugar until the outside is completely coated. Put the dough logs back in the fridge for about 10 minutes so they can firm up a bit. Slice 1\/3 inch thick rounds off of the logs and place on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden. Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cook further.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
