Money rolls, also known as "golden twists" or "butter rolls," are a delightful, flaky pastry perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. Here’s a simple yet foolproof recipe to achieve that irresistible crispy exterior and soft, buttery interior.
### Ingredients
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 120g unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 large egg
- 60ml milk
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for glazing
### Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add the beaten egg and milk, knead into a smooth dough (do not overwork). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Incorporate the Butter: Roll the dough into a rectangle. Place chilled butter cubes in the center, fold the dough over like an envelope, and roll it out again. Repeat this process twice (chilling for 15 minutes between folds) to create flaky layers.
3. Shape the Rolls: Roll the final dough into a thin rectangle, cut into strips (about 5cm wide), and twist each strip into a spiral. Alternatively, roll the dough tightly, then slice into 2cm thick rounds.
4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash or milk for a golden finish. Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.
5. Glaze (Optional): While warm, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
### Tips
- Keep ingredients cold to maintain flaky layers.
- Experiment with fillings like cinnamon, cheese, or chocolate chips before rolling.
- Serve warm with jam or butter for the best experience.
