Divine Breadsticks

Unlike the name would lead you to believe, these weren't really divine. They turned out too hard and not squishy like I like them. They were still edible and good when dipped in the spaghetti sauce I had made for our manicotti, but nothing really special.

I looked up the recipe again to see what had gone wrong and I found that Real Mom Kitchen had adapted the recipe I had originally found and made some changes that I was planning on making the next time I try this recipe out. And hers really did turn out to be divine! I think my flour must be really thick because it always seems to be too much when I use what the recipe calls for. Next time I am going to start with 3 cups of flour and see if that is enough before adding the addition 1/2 cup. Not that these breadsticks weren't good, but I think that if you follow this adapted recipe below from Real Mom Kitchen that they really will be divine.
