O.k., who votes that I don't make Maple Twist again?

First, one time when I was helping Mommy make this yummy breakfast treat, Mommy went to do something and I got bored of waiting. Mommy was surprised when she came and found a pan of circles! These should be a circle in the middle and triangular twisty things around . That's one circle in the middle. Not all over the pan.
Then, one day I made them myself. I put in vanilla. Not maple. This recipe calls for maple. Oh well just add maple and see what it does. It's tradition now. Daddy couldn't tell the difference, so now every Fathers Day I make the *Maple* Twists- with vanilla.
Then- the day before Thanksgiving- I did it again. I didn't mean to. But I put the oven 100 degrees higher than it needed!
That's it. If mom wants me to make them again then I need to do it the day before I should need to start them.
Here's the recipe. And don't think that no mistakes can happen.
