Mississippi Cheese Straws
Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
-1 stick butter or margarine
-1-1/4 cups flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1 teaspoon salt
-Cayenne pepper to taste (we used about 1/2 teaspoon and the bite was nice,but not too much)
-8 ozs. extra sharp cheddar cheese ( I highly recomend Cracker Barrel)
Recipe
-Allow butter to warm to room temperature.
-Grate the cheese with a fine cheese grater
-Using a mixer, cream the butter.
-Add the baking powder, salt & pepper.
-Alternately add the flour and the cheese to make a stiff batter.
-Using a cookie press and the star setting, squeeze out on a cookie sheet in whatever length you desire.
-Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Appetizer Idea:
-Wrap the batter around a jalapeno stuffed olive and freeze.
-When frozen, bake in 350 degree oven for 12 minutes or so (lightly browned).
-These are tasty!!
-You could do the same with a pearl onion, but I'll stick to stuffed olives.
