"My 6 year old picked this recipe out of the Betty Crocker "Spring Bruch" book. Yummy little twist on maple bars. Fun and easy to make."

directions

Heat oven to 450.
Grease cookie sheet and set aside.
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter with pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir until just combined. You may need to add a dab more milk if it is too dry.
Knead mixture 10 times on a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough into a 15x9 inch rectangle.
In a small bowl, stir all of the filling ingredients together and spread over the dough. Fold dough lengthwise into a 15x4/12 inch rectangle and cut into fifteen 1 inch wide strips. Holding a strip at each end, twist in opposite directions twice.
Place strips on cookie sheet, pressing ends down.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes and transfer to wire rack.
Drizzle glaze over the warm biscuits.
