Yield: 32 sticks

1/3 cup butter
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk

Heat oven hot (450°). Melt butter in oven in oblong pan, 9x13x2 inches. Remove pan when butter is melted. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk. Stir slowly with fork until dough just clings together. Turn onto well-floured board. Roll over to coat with flour. Knead lightly about 10 times. Roll out 1/2 inch thick into rectangle 12x8 inches. With floured knife, cut dough in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 16 strips. Pick up strips in both hands and dip each strip on both sides in melted butter. Next lay them close together in 2 rows in same pan in which butter was melted. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot.

Variation: (1) Add 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese to dry ingredients. (2) Add 1/2 clove finely minced garlic to butter before melting. (3) Sprinkle paprika, celery seed, or garlic salt over dips before baking.
