Raspberry Twists
Raspberry Twists are flaky, sweet pastries filled with raspberry jam, perfect for a quick treat or brunch, combining buttery dough with a fruity, sugary glaze.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the beaten egg, milk, melted butter, and sugar together in a bowl.
- Add the biscuit mix and stir until blended.
- Knead the dough 15 times on a surface dusted with biscuit mix.
- Roll the dough out to 15 x 9 inches and spread with raspberry jam.
- Fold the dough into thirds and cut into 15 pieces.
- Twist each piece and press down on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
- While warm, spread a mixture of powdered sugar and remaining ingredients over the twists.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If raspberry jam is unavailable, you can substitute with any other fruit jam like strawberry or apricot. Be careful not to over-knead the dough, as this can make the twists tough. If you're looking for a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
These Raspberry Twists are delightful served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast or brunch. For a more indulgent treat, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream. They also make a tasty addition to a dessert platter, especially when paired with Pumpkin Waffles And Cinnamon Syrup.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Raspberry Twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. When reheating, place them in a warm oven for a few minutes to regain their softness, or microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
