Recipe - Biscuit Sticks

1/3 cup Shortening
1 Three fourths cup Allpurpose flour*
2 One half teaspoon Baking powder
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
Three fourths cup Milk
1/3 cup Butter or margarine

Heat oven to 450 F. Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt with
pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in just enough
milk so dough leaves side of bowl and rounds up into a hail. (Too much milk
makes dough sticky; not enough milk makes biscuits dry.)

Heat 1/3 cup margarine or butter in baking pan, 9x9x2 inches, in oven until
melted; remove from oven. Roll dough into 8inch square. Cut dough into
halves; cut each half into eight 1inch strips. Dip strips into margarine,
coating all sides. Arrange strips in 2 rows in pan. Bake until golden
brown, about 15 minutes. 16 sticks.

*If using selfrising flour, omit baking powder and salt.
