Bisquick-Based Buttons and Bows image

This is a little bit of a twist (spice-wise) on a Betty Crocker classic my mom made for us growing up. I like mine with a little more flavor, so I've upped the ante on the spices and adding nutmeg for a little extra kick. This recipe is a favorite for kids and grown-ups alike and very quick and easy to make.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c bisquick
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c milk, fat free
1/4 c melted margarine or butter
1/2 c sugar
1/8 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, the nutmeg, cinnamon, milk, and egg until soft dough forms
  • 2. Mix sugar and all remaining seasonings together and set aside.
  • 3. Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix. Roll dough into a ball; knead about 5 times. Press or roll dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with doughnut cutter dipped in Bisquick mix.
  • 4. To make bow shapes, hold opposite sides of each ring of dough, then twist to make a figure 8. On ungreased cookie sheet, place bows and buttons (the dough from the center of each ring).
  • 5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately dip each bow and button into melted butter, then in 1/2 cup seasoned sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
