Easy Soft Bread Sticks

I think a lot of my favourite recipes come from compilations of other people's favourite recipes. These bread sticks are found in The "Art" of Cooking compiled by Viscount Cultural Council, Manawaka Gallery, Neepawa, MB
These don't take long to make and are a hit to have with supper.

1 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
3 Tablespoons melted butter
Original recipe says: 2 teaspoons sesame seeds or 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
I use instead: onion powder and garlic powder

In small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Gradually add milk; stir to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface. Knead gently 3 or 4 times. Roll into 10x5x1/2 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 bread sticks. Place melted butter into 13x9x2 inch pan. Place bread sticks in butter; turn to coat. Cover with seeds or garlic salt. (I sprinkle with both onion powder and garlic powder). Bake at 450°F for 14 to 18 minutes.

You may substitute the seeds or garlic salt with any other favourite seasonings.

I have thought of having these with pizza sauce to dip.
