Buttons and Bows Recipe

  • 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
