Butter Dips

Since we've been putting a lot of recipes on our blogs, Izzy asked me to provide the recipe for the butter biscuits we made at Mom's one time. Here it is:

BUTTER DIPS

1/4 c. butter
1 1/4 c. flour
2 t. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2/3 c. milk

Heat oven to 450. In 9x9x2" square pan, melt the butter in the oven. Watch it closely so that it does not burn. Remove the pan from the oven.

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl, add milk and stir just until dough forms, about 30 strokes.

Turn the dough onto a well floured surface, roll it around to coat with flour. Knead lightly about 10 times. Roll into 8-inch square. With floured knife, cut dough in half, then cut each half into nine 4-inch strips. Dip each strip into the melted butter, coating both sides. Arrange strips close together in 2 rows in the pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

ENJOY!
