HOT FROM THE OVEN
BUTTONS AND BOWKNOTS
Like doughnuts but you twist them and bake them—the holes, too.
2 cups Bisquick 2 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. nutmeg ⅛ tsp. cinnamon ⅔ cup cream or top milk or ½ cup milk 1 egg
Heat oven to 400° (mod. hot). Mix Bisquick, sugar, spices. Add cream, egg. Mix well. Dust hands and board lightly with Bisquick. Knead 2 or 3 times. Keep dough soft.
Roll out ½″ thick. Cut with doughnut cutter dipped in Bisquick. Save “holes” to bake. Hold opposite sides of ring with fingers, twist to make figure 8. Pat scraps together, reroll and cut. Place on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 min., until golden brown. Melt ¼ cup butter. Measure ½ cup sugar into small bowl. Immediately after baking, dip each quickly in butter, then in sugar, coating all sides. Serve warm. Makes about 10.
