Butter Dips Recipe
A little bit biscuit. A little bit breadstick. No yeast is involved so these can be made relatively quickly. For me, the highlight is playing with different flavor variations...be sure to check out some of them listed at the end of the recipe. My favorite is a combo of variations listed: garlic, chives, and paprika on the top.
This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks: Talk About Good!
