Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Bisquick
  • 6 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 stick butter cold
  • 2/3 Cup Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Jam or Chocolate Chips

Simple Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 Cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, "cut in" the butter and cream cheese to the baking mix.
    4 Cups Bisquick, 6 oz Cream Cheese, 1 stick butter
  • When the mixture looks crumbly and the butter pieces are no larger than a kidney bean, add in your milk and mix. The mixture with look shaggy and a little dry.
    2/3 Cup Milk
  • Using your hands, turn out the mix onto a piece of parchment paper and begin pressing it together. It should form into a ball. If it is too dry, add one more Tbsp of milk and try again.
  • Press down on the ball and using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 12 X 6 rectangle. Try not to overwork the dough.
  • Once rolled out, make roughly 1 1/2 inch "cuts" all the way down each long side toward the middle. Space them every 1/2 inch, leaving two inches uncut in the center of the dough for your filling.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of your favorite jam, OR 1/2 Cup chocolate Chips on the center of the pastry. Then fold each cut strip of dough over the jam toward the center with the end of the strip in the center.
    1/2 Cup Jam or Chocolate Chips
  • Bake at 375 for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden brown.
  • While your pastry is baking, make your glaze. Once the pastry has been removed from the oven, allow it to cool for ten minutes before drizzling on the glaze. This keeps the glaze from melting on the hot pastry and becoming too thin. Slice and serve! Enjoy!

Simple Vanilla Icing

  • Mix together the confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla until the glaze is smooth.
