Poppy Seed Twists image

I believe this recipe came from a very, very old 5-Roses Cookbook, but I can't be sure. They are very nice and don't usually last long. It would be a great recipe to have the little ones help out with.

Yield 32 twists

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
poppy seed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Stir flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly.
  • Add milk gradually, tossing with a fork, until mixture holds together and comes away from the side of the bowl.
  • Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead for a few minutes (10-12 times).
  • Break dough into 32 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round pencil-like strip about 6" long.
  • Tie each strip in a loose knot and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Mix slightly beaten egg yolk and milk together.
  • Brush the tops of the knots with the egg-milk mixture and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Bake about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
