Category: Desserts

1 loaf refrigerated French bread dough
3 tbs. butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbs. cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar
4 to 5 tsp.'s milk
1/2 tsp. each, vanilla and almond extracts


colored sugar - yellow, purple, green

Unroll french bread dough into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches and brush the dough lightly with softened butter. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over butter. Cut the dough in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into strips about 1 1/4 inches wide. Twist two stips together and tie each strip loosely into a knot, and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes and allow to cool slightly.

In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and extracts to make icing. Dip each mini cake into icing and then sprinkle with colored sugar.
