Cheese Straws

Ingredients

• Four ounces flour
• 2 ounces butter
• the yolks of 2 eggs
• 4 ounces grated cheese
• a little Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoonfuls sweet cream or milk

Method

1. 1

   Put the flour in a bowl, make a hollow in the center, put in the butter, add the yolks, and work the ingredients gradually together; then add the cream and pepper; when this is well mixed, add the cheese, form into a round ball, and set for 1 hour on ice.

2. 2

   Then put the paste on a floured board, roll it out to 0.25 inch thickness, brush over with beaten egg cut in small strips.

3. 3

   Binse out some tin pans with cold water, put in the straws, and bake in a quick oven to a delicate brown.

4. 4

   A little fine salt sprinkled over them when taken from the oven is considered by many an improvement.
