Fast Garlic Knots (No Pizza Dough Needed)

chinasmom2000's Note:

This is TOH recipe by Jane Paschke that is so fast and simple that you can have them any time without having to worry about thawing pizza dough. They're great with a side of marinara for dipping when you're watching football and just want a little something or as a side with spaghetti when you forgot the garlic bread

Great recipe and budget friendly! These are even faster to prepare than frozen garlic bread. I sort of cut the recipe in half by using a 7oz can of 10 regular size buttermilk biscuits (the super cheap generic kind!) and forming one knot from each biscuit. 9 minutes in my oven was just right for light golden brown but not crunchy. The knots look fancy-schmancy and taste delicious but take almost no effort. I don't usually like refrigerated biscuits but they are well disguised with the seasonings and cheese. Oh, and I used melted butter instead of canola oil.

These were AMAZING. The flavor that the olive oil and spices gives is wonderful!! I did have a lil' problem tieing in knots at only 3"- so I rolled out longer and that worked well. (Talk about "playing with your food!" hehe) I found these to be easy and will make again & again!! Made for Spring PAC,2011.
