This was from a few months ago, but still worth sharing. Around the holiday season I stocked piled a bunch of ingredients, and of course had an abundance of leftovers. So, I pulled out my handy Betty Crocker app to see what kinds of recipes I could whip together using my leftovers. All you have to do is input what ingredients you have and it will pop up with all the recipes that contain those ingredients. Convenient, huh? I found this fairly simple recipe for Almond Cream Cheese Triangles. I didn't want to go out and buy almond extract, so I substituted it for vanilla extract and it turned out great!
The recipe has you cutting through the butter, cream cheese and
bisquick with a pastry mixer until the dough is crumbly. But....I didn't
have a pastry mixer at the time so I had to use two butter knives! I
was pulling them through the dough for about 45 minutes just to get it
to the right consistency, haha. After that it was pretty smooth
sailings. I folded the dough over the vanilla and cream cheese filling
and cut them into triangles. After that I brushed egg whites on the
tops for a glistening finish, sprinkled some sugar and topped each
triangle with almonds. Into the oven they went and less than 15 minutes
later, these beautiful cream cheese triangles were cooling down and
waiting to be devoured.
I cut one triangle apart to get a good look at the inside before
basking in its deliciousness, and it looked super good! I took the
first bite and was amazed at how great it turned out. The filling was
still creamy and the warm pastry made everything melt in my mouth.
This recipe can make about 8 - 9 regular sized triangles, and they
didn't last more than 2 days before we ate them all! Next
batch, I will cut them smaller to make more bite sized delights.
**I'll post the recipe soon**
