Jam Twists

From: Betty Crocker's Creative Recipes with Bisquick

Ingredients:
2 cups Bisquick
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk or cold water
1/3 cup jam, jelly or preserves
1 Tbsp powdered sugar



Heat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, sugar, egg and milk until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Gently smooth dough into ball on floured cloth-covered board. Knead 8 times. Roll dough into rectangle, 15x9 inches. Spread with jam.


Fold dough lengthwise into thirds; press edges together to seal securely. Cut into fifteen 1-inch strips. Twist ends of strips in opposite directions. Place on greased cookie sheet; press ends onto cookie sheet to fasten securely. Bake until light brown, 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.


What I did differently from the recipe:
Nothing.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up. These were good, but I didn't think they were great. I wanted more jam than bread and it seemed like there was more bread than jam. I used blackberry and raspberry jam together and it was good. A little butter and the microwave made these better, I thought. These are definitely a good dessert or breakfast item (my favorite!) but I just thought they were a tiny bit dry.
