Buttons and Bows

By: Marcie Holladay

"Biscuit mix hurries along these nutmeg-spiced buttons and bowknots shared by Marcie Holladay of Irving, Texas. This recipe remains a Saturday morning favorite at our house, she says. Serve the sugar-coated treats with hot coffee for dunking."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

2 cups biscuit/baking mix
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Combine egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead 5-6 times. Roll out to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter; set centers aside for buttons.
For bows, twist each circle to form a figure eight; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Place buttons on another greased baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes. Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Remove from pans to wire racks.
