Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
- 1 1/2 cups grass-fed goat milk powder (or regular milk powder)
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the milk powder and baking powder.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry mixture to the whisked eggs, about ½ cup at a time, stirring continuously until you achieve a thick “sourdough-like” consistency.
- Shape: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Roll the batter into 5-6 equal-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden brown.
- Cool: Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
- Milk Powder Choice:
Goat milk powder has a slightly different flavor and protein profile, while regular milk powder is usually easier to find. Both can work in this recipe.
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when rolled but not so thick it’s difficult to work with
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature
- Freezing: Individual buns can be frozen for up to 1 month – thaw at room temperature
- Serving Suggestions: Use as burger buns, hot dog buns, slice for sandwiches, cube for croutons, or enjoy with butter
