Rachel and Opals Cheese Straws
From irishiz 15 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 24
I know there are plenty of recipes already posted but this is the recipe I use and since someone asked for it at Christmas and I'm just getting around to providing it - I decided to post it at the same time. From a tailgating cookbook originally.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese shopping list
- 2 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, very soft shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Shred the cheese and place it in a large bowl. Add the flour, butter, red pepper flakes and salt. Using a large spoon, work the dough until completely mixed. (or use your food processor!)
- Put the dough into a cookie press with the star tip attached. Press out 2 inch long strips onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between them.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- Cool completely and they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
