Cheesy Straws!

So one of my favorite treats is a chewy, warm and yummy cheese twist. So I decided on a whim today, to bake some and obviously blog it! So here's how I made these scrummy savory treats.

Ingredients

100g sifted plain flour
1.5tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
2tbsp softened butter
100g grated cheddar cheese
80ml cold water

Method

• Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl and stir together to combine. 

• Add the butter and cheese to the mix and combine together until you get a crumbly mixture.

•  Add the water bit by bit and mix with a fork to break up any large chunks and do this until your dough reaches a stage where it doesn't stick to the bowl. 

•   Roll up the dough into a ball and roll this ball out into a rectangular sort of shape... my shape was a bit 'rustic' ;) and cut a line horizontally across the dough, then some vertical lines, like so...

• Then, give the cheese straws a couple of signature twists and place on a baking sheet and put in the preheated oven for 10 minutes on 220 degrees / gas mark 7.

 And then you magically have, warm, chewy, cheesy straws! I made another two batches after this one... as the first batch dissappreared magically! (intomybelly)

So have a go at these and leave a comment below and tell me what you thought of them!
