Butter Dips

½ cup butter

2 ½ cups flour

4 tsp. sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

1 1/3 cups milk.

Heat oven to 450 degrees.  Melt butter in oblong baking pan 13 x 9 inches.  Remove from oven.

Measure dry ingredients into bowl.  Add milk; stir just until dough forms.

Turn dough onto well flour surface.  Roll dough around to coat with flour.  Knead 10 times.  Roll into oblong shape.  With flour cover knife, cut dough length wise, then cut crosswise into strips.  Dip each strip into melted butter, coating both sides.  Arrange strips in baking pan and bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.  Serve immediately.

Note: I use this recipe when I want to make something quick and easy to go with soup or stew. Sometimes I add a bit of oat bran or ground flaxseed to make it just a bit healthier. My kids love this one!
