Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 100 grams Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (finely chopped)
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water (cold)
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped parsley and chives to evenly distribute the herbs.

Step 4

Add the sour cream to the mixture and gently combine using a fork or your hands until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 5

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.

Step 8

Using a small round cookie cutter (approximately 4-5 cm in diameter), cut out circles from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cold water to create an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the dough circles with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for extra flavor.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the Bundkchen are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
