CHEDDAR CHEESE STRAWS
I won't forget the cheese straws that my mother made for my father. The only difference was that she did not add cayenne pepper. These make wonderful hors d'oevres.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor fitted with the grating blade, grate cheese. Switch to cutting blade; add flour, butter, mustard powder, salt, ground pepper, and cayenne. Pulse until a dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 3/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches long; cut each rope into six 3-inch pieces. Place pieces 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Drag the tines of a fork down each straw to create ridges.
- Bake until golden and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Freshly grated cheese will melt more evenly than pre-shredded cheese.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the straws tough.
- Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, to ensure that the straws are crispy.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into even strips.
- Bake the straws until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the straws cool for a few minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
Conclusion:
Cheddar cheese straws are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy snack.
