Soft Breadsticks - Gluten Free

I love the taste of home made bread, and I've been having difficulty finding a good recipe that I can make with "normal" ingredients, and that doesn't need a bread machine or make a dozen loafs. I've tried a couple that were not so successful. (In the words of my husband: Well, it'll keep us from dying. 😏) 

I finally found one, that at first looks "iffy" but they turned out great.
