I know there are a few little ones out there that you can share that Christmas spirit with this season. This recipe is good for any age and will prompt tidbits of conversation around the table while doing so. It's simple due to the sheer fact all you need to do is roll ropes and twist them together making the beautiful color contrast. Just look at these beauties on top of a mug of warm hot chocolate or laced decoratively on a Christmas serving platter.
This recipe comes from my good friend Maryanne who gathers all those delightful grandchildren around her holiday table to make these treats to bag and take home. No matter the age, young or small, these treats turn out golorious each time because even a three year told can twist!
6 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. red food coloring (or more if you want a rich color)
Beat oil and sugar together. Add eggs then dry ingredients. Split dough in half. Using one have the dough stir/knead in food coloring. Begin making ropes of each the same size. Twist to make candy cane and shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
