Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter Dips Adapted from Betty Crocker Recipe.
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk

Steps:

Heat the oven to 450°F. Cut the butter into four equal pieces and place them in a 9-inch-square baking dish. Put the baking dish in the oven to melt the butter. This will take about 5 minutes; remove the baking dish once the butter has completely melted. While the butter is melting, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the milk quickly, stopping as soon as a loose dough forms. Sprinkle some flour over a large cutting board or pastry mat. Turn the dough out onto the mat and press lightly into a long, narrow rectangle. Use knife dipped in flour to cut the dough into 12 equal strips. Take each strip and place it in the baking dish, turning each side of the strip into the butter. Repeat with all the dough and place the strips close together in the baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before breaking into individual strips and eating.
