Butter Dips - Barbara Seng

2¼ cups flour                                      
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar                                         
1 cup milk
3½ tsp baking powder                       
⅓ cup butter or margarine

Mix dry ingredients in bowl and stir in milk just until dough clings together.  Turn onto well floured board and knead about 10 times.  Roll or pat into ½ inch thick rectangle 12x8.  With a sharp, floured, knife, cut the dough in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 16 strips (makes 32 pieces).  Melt butter in 9x13 pan and dip each strip into the butter, coating both sides and arrange them in two rows in the pan.  Bake at 450º for 15-20 minutes.
