Maple Twists
Description
These sweetened, cream-cheese-filled little pastries are made easier with the use of baking mix. Just pop them in the oven on a bed of brown sugar, maple syrup and nuts, and watch them disappear.
Ingredients
•
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
•
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
•
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
•
1 cup packed brown sugar
•
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•
1/3 cup maple flavored syrup

2 cups baking mix

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C).
2
Mix cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and margarine or butter. Reserve.
3
Mix brown sugar, nuts, and syrup in ungreased 13x9x2 inch pan. Spread evenly.
4
Mix baking mix, milk, white sugar, and egg until dough forms. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. Gently smooth dough into a ball on a cloth-covered board dusted with baking mix. Knead 8 times.
5
Roll the dough out into a 16x9 inch rectangle. Spread with the cream cheese mixture. Carefully fold the dough lengthwise into thirds. Press edges to seal securely. Cut into 16 1-inch strips. Gently twist ends of strips in opposite directions. Arrange on the brown sugar mixture.
