  • 1 teaspoon maple flavor
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, cut 2 tablespoons butter into 1 cup Bisquick mix, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water; mix until pastry cleans side of bowl. On ungreased cookie sheet, pat pastry into 11-inch circle.
  • 2
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup butter to rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon maple flavor and 1 cup Bisquick mix all at once. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 1/2 minutes or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, one at a time; continue beating until smooth. Spread egg mixture over pastry.
  • 3
    Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until topping is crisp and dark golden brown; cool slightly.
  • 4
    In small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cofee cake. Sprinkle with pecans.

  • For Almond Danish Coffee Cake, use almond extract instead of the maple flavor and substitute sliced almonds for the pecans.
