Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Prepared vanilla icing for drizzling

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450F and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cream of tartar.
3. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the milk and stir gently until a soft dough forms.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead just a few times until smooth.
6. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly across the top and gently press it into the dough if desired.
8. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into long breadstick-shaped strips.
9. Place the strips on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until lightly golden.
11. While still warm, drizzle with vanilla icing and allow to cool slightly before serving.
