On our family vacation this summer we were able to see some old friends from our college days. It was so nice to see them after 9 years and my sweet friend, Karen, gave me a little gift. I am now the proud owner of The Bisquick Cookbook- Recipes from Betty Crocker in answer to your requests, printed in 1964. I believe it was her grandmother's and I am honored to have it. It is full of fun recipes using, of course, Bisquick. And the graphics are so cute!
The following recipe was listed under "Breads a Bride Can Bake". I thought it would make a nice snack for my kids today.
Cinnamon Biscuit Balls
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Heat oven to 450 (hot). Add milk to Bisquick all at once; stir with fork into a soft dough. Beat dough vigorously 20 strokes, until stiff and slightly sticky. Roll dough around on cloth-covered board lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Knead gently 8 to 10 times to smooth up dough. Drop a teaspoonful at a time into a mixture of 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 min. Makes 2 doz. small cinnamon balls.
This is all it takes, folks!
My Notes: After kneading the dough I rolled them into balls as well as I could (dough was still a little sticky) or you could just use a spoon to drop it into cinnamon mixture like the directions say. These were pretty good. I wouldn't take them as a dessert to a function, but they definitely passed for my kids' snack time.
