Exceedingly moreish cheese straws

well that's me sorted for today.. thankyou very much for the recipe Witzend

My book is already open on my kitchen worktop, only yesterday I was debating whether to make cheese straws and yes I will. I will be adding some turmeric to mine

It is not the same as your recipe OP, which sounds delicious

Thank you for sharing. I can successfully make most things but not cheese straws! Got my DGD coming this afternoon so I think we may make some together!

I’ve taken a screen shot and will bake some next Monday, if I bake them sooner they will disappear.

Must try that recipe, Witz. Thank you!

Here it is!

Ooh I haven’t made these for years! I’ve got a vague memory of twisting them and sprinkling with sesame seeds before cooking
Going to make some tomorrow for the family Boxing Day buffet- wonder if they will last that long……

I make cheeses straws, recipe quite similar.

Mix in KA, form in long log, 3-4cm around, wrap in cling film, chill. Slice as coins and bake. Easier than rolling and cutting.

Many batches through this kitchen for nibbles.

Mine are now cooling on a wire rack. Is it against the law to eat all of them in one go?

I made these this morning and they are really good, I left out the mustard because I didn't have any and the local shop only sells made mustard but I don't think it has made much difference. I cooked mine at 200degs in my mini oven which is not a fan oven. Now wrapped in foil (as per Mrs Google) and stashed away for Boxing Day.

I've just cracked in to one of the cheeses, it is divine and I have realised I've forgot to order port
my bad

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

Have you got any made (English) mustard? I’d imagine that a really good heaped tsp of that would do. Dijon or any other wouldn’t work IMO.

I’m going to have to finish the tin of shortbread to make room for a batch or two 😈. It’ll be hard work but someone has to do it.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
