Easy Drop Danish (using Bisquick)

This is one of those recipes that I’ve made on and off for years.  I forget about it and then while flipping through my recipe binder, I come across it again and decide to pull it out.  I don’t always have Bisquick in my pantry but when I do, this is a delicious way to use it up.  (I normally buy it when I’m making dumplings to go along with pork loin).  Make sure you have some fruit preserves in your fridge.  I used a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the pan.  I also used my finger to make the well for the fruit.  I sprayed Pam onto a paper towel and would dab my finger in it before spreading the dough.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup margarine or butter (softened)

2 TBSP sugar

2 cups Bisquick baking mix

2/3 cup milk

1/4 cup any flavor preserves

Mix margarine/butter, sugar and Bisquick until crumbly.

Stir in milk until dough forms, beat 15 strokes.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2” apart onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Make a shallow well in center of each with the back of a spoon (I used my greased finger).

Fill the well with 1 teaspoon of preserves.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.

Mix up glaze while baking and then while warm, drizzle with glaze and enjoy!


Glaze ingredients:

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1 TBSP warm water (I used milk from fridge)

1/4 tsp vanilla

Beat together the glaze ingredients until smooth. (I put the glaze in a small plastic bag, snip the corner off and then drizzle.)
