Same ingredients, different recipe

So...How did the muffins turn out? I would love to hear about some new variations you try. Try adding strawberries or chocolate chips.

Now, there are many recipes using these same basic ingredients. Remember, always keep these stocked in your pantry: Dry milk, all purpose flour, baking powder, and margarine.







Here is a family favorite:
Garlic Bread Sticks
3 cups flour
1t. salt
1t. garlic powder
1T. dry parsley
1T. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 stick margarine

In large bowl mix flour,


salt,



garlic powder,



parsley,






and baking powder.



Mix the dry ingredients well.






In a 9x13 baking dish, melt the margarine.






To the dry ingredients, add milk.









Don't be afraid to get your hand dirty. It becomes tough to mix it with a spoon so use your hands.









Knead the dough 5 or 6 times until it holds together. The dough will not be "pretty", it will look pretty rough. That's okay. Keep going.










Roll the dough into an approximate 9x13 shape. Doesn't have to be perfect.











My rolling pin is a good measure.












Place the rectangle of dough in the pan on top of the melted magarine.














Cut thin strips in the dough. The margarine will seep up between the strips. This is a good thing!! I happen to have this handy Pampered Chef cutting tool, but I've used a pizza cutter or a knife.












After all the strips have been cut, it should look like this.
Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown.














Serve with Marinara Sauce or alongside your favorite Italian meal.
YUMMY!!
















This batch lasted about 30 seconds.

This is my supper tonight. I just got home, read a couple of blogs, and printed out this page. I'll tell you later on how they fared. They are 10 minutes from coming out of the oven and the house smells FANTASTIC.

Methinks my table will look a little like yours...gone in a flash.
