baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture with the chopped

the dough into cylinders about 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long.

minutes, until the tops are lightly browned. Let cool and store in an
airtight container. NOTE: It is also delicious to add about 2
teaspoons of anise seed to the doughIngredients:
