Total time:
Yields: 20 to 30 straws
Ingredients
- Approx. 6 oz shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and cut
- ¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, half and half or milk
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together shredded cheese, butter, flour, salt and red pepper flakes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cream and process 10 to 20 seconds until a dough ball forms.
- Unroll a piece of parchment paper (big enough to fit a baking sheet) on a countertop and lightly dust with flour. Roll out dough to an 8-by-10-inch rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice dough into thin strips about ¼-inch wide. Twist Straws by rotating dough ends in opposite directions. Dust off excess flour and carefully transfer dough, on parchment paper, to a baking sheet. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide strips between baking sheets, setting them about ¼-inch apart on the sheets.
- Bake 15 minutes until straws are slightly puffy and lightly golden on the ends. Transfer baking sheets to cooling racks to cool straws completely.
- Serve cheese straws at room temperature.
