Ingredients
Scale
- 1 leftover biscuit or yeast dough (enough to roll 3 small walnut-sized balls for each muffin tin)
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (15 ml) butter (0.5 tsp/2.5 ml for greasing, 0.5 tsp/2.5 ml for topping each muffin tin)
- Less than 2 tsp (10 ml) sugar per tin (1 tsp/5 ml for base, ⅓ tsp/1.7 ml for topping)
- 1 dash ground cinnamon
- Sweetened condensed milk (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly grease muffin tin cavities with softened butter, then dust with sugar and cinnamon, creating a caramelized foundation.
- Dough Shaping: Craft walnut-sized dough spheres with uniform precision, carefully positioning three balls into each prepared cavity.
- Flavor Layering: Top dough clusters with small butter fragments and an additional sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon, ensuring rich, aromatic potential.
- Proofing: Allow assembled muffins to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, covered with a light kitchen towel, enabling gentle expansion.
- Baking: Position muffin tin in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven, baking for 15-20 minutes until surfaces achieve a golden-brown hue and butter-sugar mixture becomes effervescent.
- Finishing Touch: Immediately drench freshly baked muffins with sweetened condensed milk, allowing it to penetrate the warm, pillowy surfaces.
- Serving: Rest muffins briefly in the tin to absorb the milk completely, then transfer and serve while maintaining optimal warmth and delectable texture.
Notes
- Butter Coating Technique: Ensure complete, even coverage in each muffin cavity for perfect non-stick performance and rich flavor development.
- Dough Shaping Precision: Create uniform walnut-sized balls to guarantee consistent baking and attractive presentation of each muffin.
- Rising Time Matters: Let chilled dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to achieve optimal texture and light, airy consistency.
- Condensed Milk Magic: Pour warm milk immediately after baking to create an irresistibly moist and decadent final touch that elevates the entire dessert.
