There are two things that will always taste fantastic together, and they are cheese and pastry! I love making cheese biscuits using my Granny's recipe, but this time I decided to try something a bit different and use puff pastry instead of short crust.
I love cheese straws, but I have never made them before as I usually buy them so I thought I would give it a go. It turns out that they couldn't be much easier to make! They tasted delicious and were gobbled up in a day so make sure to make a large batch if you have lots of mouths to feed!
Recipe: (makes 30 small straws)
- 1 x packet of ready made puff pastry (unrolled and unthawed if frozen)
- 3 x good handfulls of grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan
- 2 tsp Poppy seeds
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 200c and grease 2 baking sheets.
- Unroll the pastry and scatter with a good hanfull of the grated cheddar and parmesan cheese. Then fold the pastry in half and roll out until it becomes the thickness of a £1 coin.
- Using a large sharp knife, cut the pastry in to long, thin strips and then cut those in half to make about 30 small strips.
- Twist each pastry stip 3 times and then lay on the baking sheet. Once all are twisted, put some more grated cheese on top of each one and then sprinkle over the poppy seeds.
- Bake in the oven for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown on the top and bottom. Keep an eye on them though as they will burn quickly.
- Enjoy warm if you can, if not keep them in an air tight container and eat at the earliest opportunity! You won't be able to resist!
