Cayenne Cheese Straws Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Lightly roll out the sheet of pastry into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, then brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle over the Cheddar, cayenne and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Using the rolling pin, press the cheese into the pastry. Cut the pastry into 12 strips. Twist each strip about 5 times and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, brush the strips with the mixture and sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Grate the cheese on the medium holes of a grater to make 4 cups. Cover the grated cheese and leave out with the butter until at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (Note: You need to grate your own cheese here--no pre-grated.)
• When ready to make the cheese straws, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• Mix the flour, salt, cayenne, mustard and black pepper in a medium bowl.
• Put the cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until fairly smooth. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Check the consistency; it should be just stiff enough to pipe. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scrape the dough into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. Use a 1/4-inch tip or cut a 1/4-inch hole in the plastic bag. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in 5- to 6-inch strips. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Mix into a paste with the yolk of an egg.
• Roll out to the thickness of a silver quarter, about four or five inches long; cut into strips about a third of an inch wide, twist
• them as you would a paper spill, and lay them on a baking-sheet slightly floured.
• Bake in a moderate oven until crisp, but they must not be the least brown.
• If put away in a tin, these cheese straws will keep a long time.
• Serve cold, piled tastefully on a glass dish.
• You can make the straws of remnants of puff-pastry, rolling in the grated cheese.
• Cooking time is an estimate, watch carefully.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan.
• Sieve the flour, salt and pepper/paprika into a bowl. Add the butter and rub well. Once rubbed well ad the grated cheese and briefly stir.
• Moisten with egg yolk. Knead into a ball. If the mixture is still oo crumbly add the milk to it and then knead into a ball. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface. Roll the mixture out into a square and cut into thin strips (1cm).
• Place on a lined baking tray and brush with any remaining egg yolk if you would like. Bake them for 12 - 15 mins or until golden. Cool them on a wire rack.
• Eat and enjoy them!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Pulse cheese, flour, butter, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse until dough forms a ball.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle (1/8 inch thick). Cut dough with a lightly floured pizza wheel or lightly floured sharp knife into 1/3-inch-wide strips. Carefully transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets, arranging strips 1/4 inch apart. (If strips tear, pinch back together.)
• Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and add the salt, paprika and cayenne. Rub in the butter until the mixture is like oatmeal. Add the cheeses, Tabasco sauce and egg yolk. Make into a smooth dough, adding water as necessary.
• Roll out onto a floured board and cut in narrow strips, about one-fourth of an inch wide and three-inches long. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for seven to eight minutes, or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Beat in cheese until blended. Combine flour, salt and cayenne; stir into cheese mixture until a dough forms. Roll into a 15x6-in. rectangle. Cut into thirty 6-in. strips. Gently place strips 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together using hands.
• When mixed, place in cookie press using the star pattern.
• Make long strips on cookie sheets.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes on lightly sprayed cookie sheets.
• Cool on wire racks. When cool, break into desired lengths. Store in air tight container. Will keep for weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the butter with the cheese and the seasonings in a large bowl. Add the flour and knead into a smooth dough.
• Pack the dough in batches into a cookie press and press through the flat, ridged-line opening onto an ungreased cookie sheet to form ''straws'' of about 2 1/2 to 3 inches in length.
• Bake until golden (do not let them brown) and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the pan with a metal spatula and let cool. Serve or store in an airtight container. (The straws are very fragile.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor fitted with the grating blade, grate cheese. Switch to cutting blade; add flour, butter, mustard powder, salt, ground pepper, and cayenne. Pulse until a dough forms.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 3/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches long; cut each rope into six 3-inch pieces. Place pieces 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Drag the tines of a fork down each straw to create ridges.
• Bake until golden and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl cream butter and cheese. Stir in flour and salt; mix well. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into 2 inch strips and sprinkle with ground red pepper. Place strips on prepared cookie sheet(s) 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp.
