Need a quick, easy, crowd pleasing appetizer with no baking experience required? These scrumptious cheese straws are sure to fit the bill. With just five common ingredients, you are looking at 5 minutes prep time, 15 minutes in the oven, taste… priceless.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp BBQ powdered seasoning, or seasoning of your choice (I have used cajun and ranch and loved them both)
- 1 1/2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 stick unsalted butter – sliced into pieces 1/4 inch or so thick
Directions:
Place ingredients into food processor and mix, or mix by hand into a dough. Roll out into sheet 1/4 inch thick on flour coated parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Don’t over knead or roll as the straws won’t be as flaky. Cut into long straws about 1/2 inch wide. Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 min at 350.
Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with ranch dressing or you choice of condiments!
