Bisquick "Corny" Bread Sticks
Crispy, buttery breadsticks with a sweet corn flavor, perfect as a snack or side dish for family dinners and gatherings. Easy to make with Bisquick and cream-style corn.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, cream-style corn, and sugar together.
- Roll out the dough to medium thickness; it will rise during baking.
- Dough will be sticky; sprinkle surface lightly with flour as needed and pat out with hands on a floured surface.
- Cut the dough into strips similar to chicken pastry dough.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large oven roaster or similar pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven and lay the strips of dough (about the size of 2 fingers) in the melted butter.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
- Turn all pieces over and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or chopped jalapeños to the dough. If the dough is too sticky, use more flour while rolling out. For a sweeter variation, incorporate a teaspoon of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract. This recipe also works well with gluten-free Bisquick if you need a gluten-free option.
Serving Suggestions
These corny bread sticks are great as a snack or appetizer. They pair beautifully with soups or stews, such as a hearty vegetable soup or classic chili. For a sweet touch, serve them alongside a light dessert like Lemon Or Banana Pound Cake for a delightful contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh corn instead of cream-style corn?
Yes, you can substitute fresh corn, but you'll need to adjust the liquid content since fresh corn is drier. Consider adding a bit of milk to maintain the right consistency in the dough.
What can I serve with these bread sticks?
These bread sticks are versatile and can be served with various dips like salsa, cheese sauce, or even a simple herb butter. They also complement salads or grilled meats, making them a great addition to any meal.
Can I freeze the bread sticks?
Absolutely! To freeze, let the bread sticks cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. Reheat them directly from frozen in the oven for the best texture.
