CHEESE STRAWS
- 100g plain or wholemeal flour
- 100g cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 100g parmesan cheese, grated (or whatever yellow cheese you have, I used a little cheddar too)
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- Preheat the oven to 200 C and line 2-3 trays with baking paper.
- Using an electric mixer on a low speed, combine the flour and butter until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the cheese, chilli, salt and pepper, and mix until combined.
- Add the egg yolk and mix in by hand.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle and on a lightly floured surface, roll it out until it is 5mm thick.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into 1cm straws. Cut in half, and place on baking trays.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes, until golden. Makes 5o straws.
