SCUFFLES AKA CINNAMON TWISTS

Steps:

• Add flour and baking powder together in large bowl; mix to combine
• Cut butter into flour mixture until crumbly; add milk and eggs, stirring just until dough comes together to form a ball
• Divide into 4 discs; cover each securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight until ice cold
• Weigh flour and baking powder into TM bowl: mix to combine for 5 seconds at speed 3
• Weigh cold butter cubes into flour mixture in TM bowl; use hand or wooden spoon to mix butter cubes inside TM bowl with flour (without machine running)
• Mix to combine from 0-10 for 15 seconds until coarse crumbles (similar to oatmeal)
• Weigh milk and eggs into TM bowl; combine for 30 seconds at speed 3 to 8 until mixture just comes together in clumps (be sure to not over mix)
• Divide dough into 4 discs; cover each securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight until ice cold
• Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle generous amount on work surface
• Divide dough into 8 equal balls; refrigerate seven and place one on top of cinnamon sugar
• Roll dough out 1/8th-inch thick into circle (as you would pie crust) on sugar/cinnamon mixture
• Divide circle of dough into 4, then into 8 triangular pieces: a pizza or pastry cutter works great for this
• Start at the wide end of your triangle and roll triangle toward its point similar to rolling a croissant; place each on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes

CINNAMON TWISTS

Steps:

• Mix flour, butter (or marg), and baking powder like a pie crust.
• Add milk and eggs.(best to mix the milk and eggs together).Add about 3/4 of the milk mixture to the flour mixture first, since you may not need all of the milk mixture. (This would be like a pie crust)
• Mix well.
• Divide into 10 balls.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle some sugar/cinnamon mixture on counter.
• Place 1 ball of dough in sugar/cinnamon and roll into a circle, be sure to have sugar mixture on the top as well.
• Cut into 8 wedges.
• Roll up each wedge starting at the wide end.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
• Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
• Note: Each wedge will be about 1 1/2" at the wide end.
• You may have more sugar mixture than you need. That all depends on how much mixture you like on the wedges.
• Prep time will vary.

CINNAMON TWISTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Mix sugar, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Divide dough in half; stir cinnamon into one half.
• Shape 1 level teaspoonful dough from each half into 3-inch rope. Place ropes side by side; twist gently. Repeat with remaining dough. Place twists about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until very light brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.

CINNAMON SUGAR SCUFFLES (UKRAINIAN SCUFFLES)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 3 Tbsp. sugar and salt.
• Add the butter, cutting it in with a fork or pastry cutter as if you were making pie crust. I have never made a pie crust so for those confused as I was, simply add the butter gradually, and piece it up with your fork until you have pea-sized amounts in the mixture.
• Add the milk, eggs, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
• Mix well (by hand) and knead a few times until you've got a round ball of dough.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight (important, you need to keep the dough chilled so overnight is perfect!)
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide dough into 6 parts, keeping one part out and putting the rest back in the fridge until ready for it.
• Scatter your counter generously with sugar and cinnamon, and roll each piece into a circle on the sugar. I used a tea saucer placed on top and cut around it to create the perfect circle.
• Cut your circle into wedges like a pie. I cut mine into 4 pieces and then cut each in half so I ended up with 8 wedges from each circle.
• Roll each wedge from the widest side inward to the skinniest.
• Place on a baking sheet about about 1 inch apart and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove from baking sheet immediately and cool.

GRAMMA'S SCUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix first ingredients until crumbly. Mix 2nd ingredients; make a well and add egg mixture to flour mixture.
• (I'm not sure if over-mixing matters or not!) Portion the dough into 8-10 balls (about the size of a pie plate when rolled out). Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and leave in the fridge overnight(or a few hours if you're in a rush).
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar onto work surface and roll out patties to the size of a pie plate. Cut into wedges and roll into scuffles. Roll from wide end down to the point. Place onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 deg for 12 minutes.

UKRAINIAN SCUFFLES

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 10 minutes.
• Mix the flour, salt, 3 Tablespoons sugar and butter as for pie crust.
• Add to the dry ingredients and milk and eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix well and knead dough until soft. Put in a bowl, cover and store in the refrigerator overnight. This dough is very soft and must be chilled before use.
• Divide dough into 6 parts, keeping one part out and putting the rest back in the fridge until ready for it.
• Roll dough out on a mixture of the 1 cup sugar and cinnamon. Try to keep the shape of the rolled dough as round as possible. Cut into wedges, 12 per round if the thickness is 1/8 inch. Roll from wide end to narrow end.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F Remove from baking sheet immediately and cool well. These freeze very well.
• If you wish to prepare a few pans before baking keep them in the fridge until ready for baking, otherwise they will start to rise.
