No-Yeast Bread Sticks

shared by Patty H.
Note:These are a crispy-type of bread stick and are very tasty. They are quick to make when you need a little something extra to go with soup or chili. You can also vary them to be a dessert bread stick.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup milk
2 T. butter melted
1 T. olive oil

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425. (I put the butter and olive oil in a 9x13 baking dish to melt while I am preparing the dough. Just don't forget it - it only takes a little while to melt.)
2. Combine dry ingredients.
3. Gradually add milk to form a soft dough.
4. Turn out on a piece of lightly floured waxed paper and knead gently 3-4 times.
5. On the waxed paper, gently pat out into a rectangle about 10" x 6." Cut into 12 sticks.
6. Place the bread sticks in the 9x13 baking dish, turning once to coat with the melted butter/oil. Leave space between the bread sticks.
7. Cook 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown.
To make garlic bread sticks:
add 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 T. parsley flakes to the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before baking.
To make cinnamon bread sticks:
mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon; sprinkle on top before baking
