Butter Dipped Bread Sticks

For a bridal shower each guest was asked to bring a receipe for me. This recipe came from my aunt Dayna. I have loved it so much because it is easy and super yummy!

1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt (I use a bit less if I am using salted butter)

1 cup of shredded cheese (I usually use chedder but other types can be used depending on what you are serving these with)

2/3 cup milk

1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning (Optional)

1/4 tsp Garlic powder (Optional)

Heat oven to 450 degrees. In an 8x8 or 9x9 pan melt butter in the heating oven. Meanwhile either by hand or in a mixer combine the rest of ingredients and mix until just brought together. You don't want to over mix.

Lightly flour counter top and form a mound of the dough. I like to pat it out into a square like shape then roll into the size of the pan you are going to use. Cut the dough in strips and dip one side in melted butter then place the other side down in the butter repeat with the other dough strips rearranging your dough in the pan. Bake 15-20 minutes. Before serving cut in half for smaller bread sticks if desired (I like to do this so it can stretch the recipe further and I will feel guilty eating more than one stick because they are so good it is hard to stop!)
