Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg yolk
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 Egg yolk (for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Add granulated sugar and continue to mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add one egg yolk and water to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and low-sodium baking powder.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, and knead gently until the dough comes together smoothly. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
Step 7
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles approximately 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in diameter.
Step 8
Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Step 9
Beat the second egg yolk in a small bowl and carefully brush it over the surface of each biscuit for a beautiful golden finish.
Step 10
Using a fork, lightly score a crisscross pattern on the surface of each biscuit to create a traditional look.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delightful low-sodium Galettes Bretonnes!
