Cheddar Cheese Straws

I won't forget the cheese straws that my mother made for my father. The only difference was that she did not add cayenne pepper. These make wonderful hors d'oevres.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup margarine
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 205 degrees C. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, grated cheese and butter or margarine in a bowl and mix until well combined.

  3. Add water a little bit at a time to make a very stiff dough.

  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into just slightly thicker than pencil shaped sticks. Cut sticks into 4 to 5 inch lengths.

  5. Arrange the pieces on the baking sheet. Bake at 205 degrees C for 5 minutes or until browned.
