I just made these for breakfast and it was a hit!! 

Buttons and Bowknots

2 c Bisquick

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/3 c milk

1 egg

1/4 c butter or margarine, melted

1/2 c sugar

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix thoroughly Bisquick, 2 tbsp sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, milk and egg.  Beat vigorously 20 strokes. 

Round up dough on lightly floured cloth covered board, knead 5 time.  Roll 1/2in thick, cut with floured doughnut cutter.

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

Now for my version of the same recipe:

I did not have Bisquick so I used some pancake mix I had left over.  I did add a bit more shortening to it as well as a smidge of baking powder.  You can look online for Bisquick recipes.

I simply used a glass to cut out my circles and then used a knife to slash through the center.  Then I grasped each side and turned the circle (the slash was in the center) into the figure 8, it is basically a flip of the wrists....  We had no buttons, because we had no holes.

Oh and I did not have nutmeg so I added some ginger.  The children loved them!!  Leave questions in the comments and I will see what I can do!
