Cheese Straws
This recipe is very popular with all ages – and it makes loads
of crumbly, cheesy bites with a delicious texture! Freeze extras (open freeze
then transfer to a container or bag, layering with freezer paper).
Ingredients:
150g (5 1/2 oz) grated cheese (you can use a strong cheddar, or a mixture of
your left over cheeses)
100g (3 1/2 oz) plain flour
2 level teaspoons baking powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
100g (3 1/2 oz) butter
2 egg yolks
Heat oven to 350F (180C, Gas Mark 4)
Line or lightly grease 2 baking sheets
Put flour, baking powder and butter into the food processor and process until
like breadcrumbs. Add the cheese and give a quick whiz, then add the egg and
process into a dough.
Turn out. Flour the table and pat or roll the dough out. Cut into straws or use
a small cookie cutter. Place on baking sheets and bake for 8-12 minutes until
lightly browned. Allow to cool for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
