RASPBERRY BRAID

This has been in my recipe box so long I have no idea where it originated, but the card is so battered (literally :o) that you can tell it's a real favorite. It starts with easy packaged biscuit mix and makes a beautiful breakfast, brunch, or gift. The finished braid looks much more difficult than it is and is always well received. You can change the jam to whatever flavor you prefer (someday I want to try it with a cheese danish filling, too...mmmm!)

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and produce a light and airy braid.
  • Brush the braid with melted butter before baking. This will help the braid to brown and give it a golden crust.
  • Serve the braid warm or at room temperature. The braid is best when it is fresh out of the oven, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Raspberry breakfast braid is a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.
