Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375*F.
- On a cutting board, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough, brush with clarified butter and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese (keep the remaining phyllo covered with a moistened tea towel).
- Place the other sheet of phyllo on top of the cheese and brush it with clarified butter.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the buttered phyllo sheets lengthwise into thirds (you will have three long srips, each about 3 inches wide and 18 inches long).
- Next, cut these strips crosswise into 1 1/2 inch rectangles.
- Wrap each rectangle lengthwise around a pencil or wooden skewer.
- Remove the pencil or skewer and place the rolls on a greased baking sheet.
- Continue this process until all of the phyllo has been rolled.
- Refrigerate the phyllo straws on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, or until they are firm.
- Bake about 9 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and, using a spatula, slip the straws onto paper towels to cool.
- The straws can be kept in a sealed tin for several days.
Tips:
- Use fresh phyllo dough: Fresh phyllo dough is more pliable and easier to work with than frozen or thawed dough. If you are using frozen dough, be sure to thaw it properly before using.
- Work quickly: Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so it is important to work quickly when assembling the straws. Keep the dough covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to cut the dough evenly and cleanly. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to work with.
- Be careful not to overfill the straws: Overfilling the straws will make them difficult to seal and may cause them to burst open during baking.
- Bake the straws until they are golden brown: The straws should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
Conclusion:
Phyllo straws are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique phyllo straw recipes that will impress your friends and family.
