1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's make sure we have everything we need. Grab your apron and gather the following items: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed), 1/2 cup milk, and 1 beaten egg for egg wash.

2

Preheat the Oven

Now it's time to preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Let's get this baking party started!

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure everything is well combined for maximum flavor explosion!

4

Cut in the Butter

Add the cold and cubed butter to the dry ingredient mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will give our snack puffs a delicate and flaky texture that's simply celestial!

5

Add the Wet Ingredients

Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as we want our snack puffs to be light and airy like they're floating through space!

6

Shape the Snack Puffs

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Then, using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each puff for expansion.

7

Brush with Egg Wash

Before we pop these puffs into the oven, let's give them a beautiful golden sheen! Brush each puff with the beaten egg wash using a pastry brush. This will create a glossy and irresistible crust that's truly snack-worthy.

8

Bake to Perfection

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the snack puffs bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffy. Keep an eye on them, because we don't want any burnt supernovas!

9

Enjoy the Cosmic Delight

Once the snack puffs are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, go ahead and indulge in this explosive flavor experience. Whether you're snacking on them solo or serving them at a gathering, these supernova spice snack puffs are a guaranteed hit!
