Simple Southern Cheese Straws Recipe

8 oz sifted flour
4 oz butter
4 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese or sharp Cheddar cheese
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
2 egg yolks

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with a fork until you have a dough consistency.

Roll out into a thin rectangle; this should be about the thickness of a pie crust.

Cut into 1/3 to 1/2 inch wide strips.

Twist each strip and lay on prepared baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven just until crispy but not browned.

Remove and let cool completely before storing.

May be stored for a few months if kept in a dry, cool place in an airtight container.
