2 cups flour
3 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Mix the above ingredients. Roll into a rectangle approximately 10 inches by 10 inches. Cut into sticks (4 inches by 1 inch). Cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan with canola and/or olive oil. Put the breadsticks in the pan. Turn over to coat both sides with oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder (if desired). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 2 dozen breadsticks.
Breakfast treats: Instead of garlic, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon before baking.
