Easy Parmesan Breadsticks

My aunt makes the most wonderful breadsticks. She was kind enough to share her recipe with my family, and my mom ended up making them a lot while I was growing up. She usually served them with soup, and that’s what I ended up making for dinner last night: soup and breadsticks. The soup was good, but the breadsticks were better.  With only four ingredients, these little gems are also really easy to make.
