Exceedingly moreish cheese straws

Oooh! They sound lovely - and a bit too moreish! Wonder if they would work with gf flour …

I adore cheese straws. Haven't had home made ones for years. I might have to get my resident chef to try these!

Thanks Witzend!

Thanks, Witzend. I am hosting a Boxing Day buffet, and they sound perfect.

I could eat cheese all day Witzend and will definitely be making these. Thank you for posting the recipe..I may go wild and try them out too with different flavoured cheeses.

I've got that tin and keep biscuits in it lol, but I love cheese straws once you start eating them it's hard to stop.

I shall give those a go, I love cheese straws. Would I be able to hurl all the ingredients in my Kitchen Aid and use the dough hook?

HousePlantQueen, why ever not? I shove it all in my trusty old Kenwood Chef, and use the K beater - same as for pastry.

Thanks Witzend, I shall have a go!

I will have a go too. The problem is that I will probably binge on them!
Thanks for the recipe.

Savouries are my weakness, no sweet tooth, thank you Witzend.

Squiffy, I should think so - thay don't really need to rise.

Sound lovely.

They do actually rise a bit, so I’d put a little baking powder in with the GF flour.
That’s for Kittylester and Squiffy.

Ooh, thank you. I've made these before to a different recipe but I'd forgotten about them. I might have a go with this lovely new recipe and bake them in my new mini oven.

They are a firm family favourite with us. I grate carrot and add it to ours, to get a bit more veg into DGS. You can't taste it really and it just makes them a little healthier.

I might try these, if I can find any strong cheddar here in Germany. There is usually only one kind available. Perhaps a Gruyère would do.

To make them seasonal, I would cut them out with Christmassy cookie cutters.

My GC will love them they make cheese straws with their mum. This recipe is a bit different thanks.

Reminds me of my lovely nan who always made these along so many other things at Christmas. Think I might try them. Thank you. I am screen shooting it.

They’d be fine, AussieGran59. Once properly cool, store them in an airtight tin.

My double batch all vanished within just over 24 hours. And I did remember to retrieve my Very Useful Tin.

Might add that I first tried these after dh bought some so-called cheese straws in Waitrose. TBH if they’d been shown a bit of cheese, that was about it.

They sound lovely. Just think, all over the world nannas will be following your recipe! They won’t last long with our family of young piglets.

Thank you, Witzend! It sounds as though gf might work then.

Mmm! Yummy must have a go. Sounds quick and simple with great results - my kind of recipe! Thanks Witzend for sharing.

Planning on making these tomorrow. How crucial is the powdered mustard? I don't have any.
