Easy but impressive Cheese Straws
One of my favourites for when I am entertaining….
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients
100g Plain flour
50g Unsalted butter
50g Cheddar cheese
1 Egg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of Sea salt
Method
Mix the flour, cayenne and sea salt in a mixing bowl.
Add the butter and rub together until the mixture has a sandy texture.
Add the cheese and egg yolk, use a cutting knife and make cutting motions through the mixture, slowly bringing the dough together. You may need to add a small amount of water to bring the mixture together, gather the dough together in a ball and put in the fridge for 30 minutes, wrapped in cling film.
Pre-heat your oven to 200C.
Roll out the chilled dough as thin as you wish, using a ruler and sharp knife start cutting the dough into straws and use the cut offs to make fun shapes if you wish!!
Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
I hope the bake goes well….
