Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Gradually add milk, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
  2. Roll dough into a 14x10-in. rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise; cut each half widthwise into 1-in. strips. Place butter in a shallow bowl. Dip each strip into butter; twist two to three times.
  3. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with cheese and garlic salt. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
