Poppy Seed Twists - flour

Method

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Stir flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly.
• Add milk gradually, tossing with a fork, until mixture holds together and comes away from the side of the bowl.
• Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead for a few minutes (10-12 times).
• Break dough into 32 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round pencil-like strip about 6" long.
• Tie each strip in a loose knot and place on a greased baking sheet.
• Mix slightly beaten egg yolk and milk together.
• Brush the tops of the knots with the egg-milk mixture and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
