Buttons and Bowknots
By: Wendy Jenkins

2 cups Bisquick
2 Tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix thoroughly Bisquick, 2 Tablespoons sugar, the nutmeg, cinnamon, milk and egg. Beat vigorously.

Round up dough on lightly floured cloth-covered board; knead 5 times. Roll ½ inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter.

To make bowknots, hold opposite sides of each ring, with fingers and twist to form a figure 8. Place holes (buttons) and bowknots on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Immediately after baking, dip each button and bowknot into melted butter, then into sugar.

Makes about 10
