We like using blackberries, marionberries, a mixture of raspberries and blackberries or all three in this quick and easy pastry. —Tressa Nicholls, Sandy, Oregon

Raspberry Breakfast Braid Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1/3 cup 2% milk
1-1/4 cups fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup vanilla frosting

Directions

Place biscuit mix in a large bowl. Cut in cream cheese and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times.
On a greased baking sheet, roll dough into an 18-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spoon raspberries down center third of dough; sprinkle with sugar.
On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips about 2-1/2 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across raspberries; seal ends.
Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool slightly. In a microwave-safe dish, microwave frosting on high for 5-10 seconds or until of desired consistency; drizzle over pastry. Yield: 12 servings.

I substituted and put in raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Tasted good, my braid wasn't the best but oh we'll.

I made my own frosting as suggested and drizzled it over straight out of the oven. Came out delicious. It was a little more involved than I anticipated though, so I wouldn't recommend this if you have divided attention in the morning, but if you have a half an hour to dedicate to prep, do it, your family will thank you!

This braid is much better with the powdered sugar frosting that I suggested when I submitted this recipe - mix 1 Tablespoon each of cream cheese and butter (margarine), about 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and some milk to make the frosting smooth. spread over entire braid when it is still a bit warm. So much better than just a tiny drizzle of not so good purchased frosting! - Tressa
