Parmesan Cheese Sticks

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

of cayenne (omit if you are serving to children)

2 tablespoons granulated garlic (or a flavour of your choice)

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)

1 cup dry grated Parmesan cheese (I buy any brand on sale and freeze)

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons water

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 400°F.

Put all dry ingredients into a food processor and process to mix well.

Add the butter and process until coarse granules form.

While the blades are running, pour in the egg and process until a soft ball forms. If this does not happen, drizzle little bits of water until a soft ball forms.

Remove from processor and using a small amount of flour, roll out the dough to about 1/2cm thickness. Cut into 10cm x 1cm straws and position evenly on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-12 minutes until golden.

Remove and allow to cool. This will store well in a cool, dark place.

About

I have been making Cheese Straws since I received my first food processor in 1987 (it came with a similar recipe). I am now making a different recipe but they still taste the same! This one is adapted from The Book of Christmas Foods by Janice Murfitt, published in 1989.
