2 cups Gold Medal� all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped salami, bologna or fully cooked ham
3/4 cup milk
Ketchup, mustard or cheese dip, if desired
1. Heat oven to 450�F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese and salami. Stir in just enough milk until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently 10 times. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Pat dough into 8-inch square; cut square in half. Cut each half crosswise into 1-inch strips. (For crisper sticks, arrange strips to have about 1-inch space between them.)
3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cool with ketchup, mustard or cheese dip.
