Ingredients
Margarine
1/2 cup (1 stick, melted)
All-purpose flour
2 cups (sifted)
Sugar
2 tablespoons
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Milk
approximately 1/2 cup (adjust as needed for dough consistency)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Place the margarine in a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan and allow it to melt in the preheated oven while you prepare the dough.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork to incorporate. If the dough appears too dry, add a little more milk until the mixture forms a soft and cohesive ball.
5
Lightly flour a sheet of waxed paper and place the dough on top. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle that fits the dimensions of your hot baking pan.
6
Carefully remove the melted margarine from the oven, ensuring it’s hot. Gently place the rolled-out dough over the melted margarine, being cautious not to burn yourself.
7
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips, taking care to slice through the dough but not the bottom. Optionally, cut down the middle to create two equal sections.
8
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, or garlic powder over the dough before baking.
9
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown, with a crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy interior.

Once baked, remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your delicious Golden Buttery Breadsticks!
