Cheese Straws Recipe
4 ozs. Sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. powdered Ginger
1 cup of Flour
2 1/2 tbsps. Cold water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/3 cup of Butter
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire
1/4 cup of toasted Sesame seeds
Into the food processor, put the salt, ginger & flour then add in butter that have been cut in small cubes. Process them until the dough’s consistency is like that of a coarse meal.
Next, add in cheese that has been shredded finely and continue to process just until it has all mixed together well.
In a small container, add the Worcestershire and cold water then pour this mixture onto the dough then process it until the dough becomes moist and holds together when pinched by fingers.
Form the dough in a ball onto a lightly dusted with flour clean board then roll it out to about 1/8-inch thick. Then, slice in strips that are about 3-inches long & 1 1/2-inch wide.
Place them on a baking sheet and freeze them without baking. The dough should not be thawed prior to baking.
Just bake them in baking sheets that have not been greased at around 400′ F just until they have turned crisp and light brown. This recipe makes about 72 small appetizers.
