Victorian Cheese Straws
Rebecca Emrick
ingredients
- 8 oz strong Cheddar cheese – grated
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to you own taste)
directions
- 1
Pre heat the oven to 190 degrees.
- 2
Mix the cheese and butter together in a large mixing bowl.
- 3
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix into a dough with your hands.
- 4
When it is firm and not sticky (add extra flour if necessary) roll out on a floured board and cut into strips – 1cm by 5cm long. Or use a cookie cutter of your choice to make fun shapes.
- 5
Place on a non-stick baking tray (or use a greaseproof sheet) – but do not grease.
- 6
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- 7
If by some miracle there are some left at the end of the day – store them in an airtight container.
- 8
Great served as an accompaniment to crudités and humus (though this is not strictly Victorian!)
