RECIPES
Katie's Grandma's Raspberry Rolls
Make a batch of biscuits. I use Betty Crocker’s “Baking Powder Biscuits” which follows:
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
½ cup shortening
¾ cup milk
Roll out the biscuit dough into a rectangular shape. Place 2 pints of fresh raspberries down the middle third of the dough. Sprinkle with ½ cup sugar. Roll up the dough. (This can be a bit challenging, but it doesn’t need to look perfect. I just fold up both sides up over the raspberries and sugar.) Cut into slices and lay them in a 9 x 13 greased pan.
Mix together 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Pour it over the slices.
Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
Serve hot topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Yummy! Thanks, Katie Sturtevant, for sharing this family favorite with us!
