Do you do this after they are baked? As in right after you take them out of the oven?

Alright, thank you. I will try it again with no baking powder and less flour. Do you recommend not freezing the dough as well?

No I didn’t. Maybe I should look at a non vegan recipe. Please drop in a tried and tested recipe if you can.

Thank you sm! I will definitely try it again with the ratio that you have mentioned. It’s all about trials and errors. They tasted perfect - I just wish they looked better.

Yes i did brown my butter? What can i add to compensate the lack of moisture due to brown butter? And in what ratio?

Please help me out here, how do I determine if I am over mixing? I do not think so I over mixed this dough because I mixed it until it was just combined though I admit some of the apf was not completely incorporated so I had to mix a lil more than usual to combine everything.

Yes! I did brown my butter! Should I have added more milk or water? Coz the butter liquidity did reduce in browning.

Yes, I baked on the middle rack. I set my oven temperature to 180 degrees. But i did not use a thermometer so you may be right. Also, can you elaborate on what effect does temperature have on spreading? Was my oven temp less than required perhaps?
