What’s in the Pot — Apricot Sweet Rolls

September 1970

I’m a working mother now, and most of the time I’m looking for a quick, easy meal. On my days off, to soothe my guilt feelings, I like to fix something special, but I still don’t want to have to spend too much time in the kitchen. The receipe for this month fills both needs for breakfast.

It’s quick because of the use of a mix and special because it’s home baked, very tasty and pretty to look at. It gives you. a feeling of accomplishment without really trying. Give it a whirl.

Apricot Sweet Rolls (Makes 1 doz. rolls) 1½ tbsp. Oleo, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 2 cups Buscuit Mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, 1/3 cup water, 1½ cup sweetened Apricot (canned).

Melt oleo in 8 or 9 inch round cake pan, mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over batter. In a bowl mix Biscuit Mix, milk and water together with a fork. Turn out on a lightly floured board. Knead 8 or 10 times with floured hands. Roll into an 8 X 12 inch sheet. Drain the apricots and place on top of dough sheet. Roll up like jelly roll, starting at wide side. Cut into 1 inch slices. Place on sugar in pan. Bake in 400 degree oven 30 minutes.
