My 6 year old picked this recipe out of the Betty Crocker Spring Bruch book. Yummy little twist on maple bars. Fun and easy to make.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup firm butter or 1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped nuts
3 tablespoons soft butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1 -2 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 450.
2. Grease cookie sheet and set aside.
3. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter with pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir until just combined. You may need to add a dab more milk if it is too dry.
4. Knead mixture 10 times on a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough into a 15x9 inch rectangle.
5. In a small bowl, stir all of the filling ingredients together and spread over the dough. Fold dough lengthwise into a 15x4/12 inch rectangle and cut into fifteen 1 inch wide strips. Holding a strip at each end, twist in opposite directions twice.
6. Place strips on cookie sheet, pressing ends down.
7. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes and transfer to wire rack.
9. Drizzle glaze over the warm biscuits.
