Bettys Pretzels Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425°. Put the 1 1/2 cups flour, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, sugar and salt in the medium bowl. Stir with the wooden spoon to make a soft dough.
• Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons flour over a clean surface, such as a kitchen counter or breadboard. Put dough on the surface. Divide dough in half to make 2 balls. Roll each ball of dough around 3 or 4 times. Curve your fingers around and fold dough toward you, then push it away with the heels of your hands, using a quick rocking motion. Repeat 10 times. Put bowl upside down over balls of dough for 15 minutes.
• Divide each ball of dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch rope. Use the ruler to measure, if you like. Twist halves together to make a pretzel shape. Pinch edges to seal. Put pretzels on the cookie sheet (you do not need to grease the cookie sheet).
