Cheddar Cheese Straws image

I won't forget the cheese straws that my mother made for my father. The only difference was that she did not add cayenne pepper. These make wonderful hors d'oevres.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¾ cup margarine
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, grated cheese and butter or margarine in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add water a little bit at a time to make a very stiff dough.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into just slightly thicker than pencil shaped sticks. Cut sticks into 4 to 5 inch lengths. Arrange the pieces on the baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 minutes or until browned.
