Recipe Introduction
These tasty little cocktail snacks are traditionally made with cheddar
cheese, but I prefer these because they feature the true King of
English cheeses.
List of Ingredients
Cheese Straws
2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
1/4 lb (110 g) butter
1 lb (450 g) Cheddar, Stilton or other
...good quality blue cheese, crumbled
Coarse salt to taste
Mix the flour and butter with a fork or in a food processor until the
mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cheese and knead by hand
until the mixture holds together, adding a few drops of cold water if
necessary. This mixture may be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen
until ready to use. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (5
mm) and cut into strips about 1/2 inch (1 cm) wide and 4 inches (10
cm) long. Sprinkle with coarse salt and place on a lightly greased
baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 450F (230C) until golden brown,
5 to 8 minutes. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Serves
6 to 10.Recipe
