Dry mustard, ground pepper, and cayenne give these crackers some kick. For variation, try Gruyere cheese in place of cheddar.

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

6-ounce piece sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

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.

These cheese straws are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a few blocks of cheese in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

These cheese straws were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.
