Sara's Broomsticks

Broomsticks

I decided it was about time to make my first post! I took this picture way back in October, but I thought why not share this fun easy recipe. I found this recipe from "The Domestic Diva's Party Cookbook," by Patricia F. Hemming and Keely J. Hemming. I absolutely love these "broomsticks." Not only are they be super fun for a Halloween party, but really any occasion. I hope you enjoy!

Broomsticks

12(1/4-inch diameter) dowels, 18 inches (washed and dried)

24 frozen dinner rolls, thawed but still cold (thaw in refrigerator)

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon dill

Combine butter, garlic, and dill in a bowl and let stand to mingle flavors.
  Press two rolls together and roll into a rope 12 to 14 inches long.

Beginning at one end of the dowel, wrap one end of the dough over the end to secure the dough to the dowel.

Twist the dough down the dowel about three quarters of the length of the dowel.

Place "broomsticks" on a greased cookie sheet and let rise 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Remove from oven and generously brush the hot rolls on both sides with the garlic-dill butter.

Remove the "broomsticks" from the pan and stand them up in three or four tall sturdy glasses, mugs, or vases.

Serve warm. Yield: 12

Tips: Spray the dowels with cooking spray before twisting on the dowels.

 Also, I like to turn them over half way so they brown evenly.
