Description

A delightful roll/cupcake hybrid with a crisp outer crust and melt-in-your-mouth center, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: cream cheese or mascarpone dollop

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until pea-sized bits remain.
  4. Whisk egg, vanilla, and sugars, then fold into the dry mix until just combined.
  5. Optional: Add spoonfuls of cream cheese into the dough centers.
  6. Spoon mixture into the tin and bake for 14–18 minutes, until edges are golden.
  7. Cool for 5–8 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For extra crispness, broil for 30 seconds at the end. Keep the dough from being overmixed for the best texture.
