Turkey Feather Twists

How lame am I to finally get around to posting my Thanksgiving treat in January.  I was going to save it until next November, but then I got worried that I would forget or lose the pictures.  So next Thanksgiving, if you need something creative and fun, search my Thanksgiving treats!

TURKEY FEATHER TWISTS

 Aren't they cute, there are so many different ways to present them.

Here's what I did...

Ingredients:

Refrigerated or frozen breadstick dough (or your favorite breadstick recipe), enough for 12 breadsticks

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

2 Tbsp butter, softened

2 ½ Tbsp milk

¼ tsp vanilla

Food coloring

Colored sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.        Prepare breadsticks according to package directions, or if using your own recipe make breadstick dough and shape into 12 long bread sticks, but don’t bake yet. 

NOTE:  I used 12 portions of frozen roll dough.  I let the portions thaw for 2-3 hours and then rolled into uniform size breadsticks.

3.        Pour melted butter into a pie tin or a shallow baking dish.  Mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate pie tin or baking dish.  Dip each breadstick first into the butter, making sure to coat evenly, and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

4.       Twist each breadstick from both ends, until you have twisted them to your satisfaction.  Lay breadsticks on a greased cookie sheet.

5.       Bake for 15 minutes.

6.       When the breadsticks have cooled prepare glaze mixture.  Pour powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla into a mixing bowl and mix until well blended.

7.       Pour glaze into small bowls, one for each color of feather desired.  Add drops of food coloring to tint glaze and stir until well blended.  Evenly coat each Feather Twist with tinted glaze and add colored sprinkles if desired.
