How to Make Maple Nut Twist Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon cream of tartar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ¾ cup milk, mixing until just combined. Add a tablespoon more milk if the dough is too dry.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10 times.
- Pat or roll the dough into a 15x9 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Spread evenly over the dough.
- Fold the dough in half lengthwise to create a 15x4 ½ inch rectangle.
- Cut the dough into fifteen 1-inch wide strips.
- Holding a strip at each end, twist it twice in opposite directions.
- Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing the ends down gently.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle with your favorite maple glaze (recipe suggestion below).
