½ cup (125g) cold butter, cut into cubes
1 cup (250ml) grated mature Cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk (reserve white)
3 ½ T (52,5ml) cold water, enough for a pliable dough

Method

Sift the dry ingredients twice. Cut in the butter, not too finely, the lumps must be the size of small peas, use a food processor or pastry cutter. Toss in the cheese. Use the egg yolk and cold water to mix into a firm but pliable dough. Knead dough lightly shape into a flat disk and rest for 30 minutes, wrapped in cling film.

Roll out pastry, about 2-3 mm thick. Cut it into 1 cm wide strips. Recut into 8 cm lengths.

Twist the strips to form corkscrew shapes to make cheese straws. Lay the cheese straws out on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Adjust the oven shelf to the middle position and preheat oven to 200°C. Bake cheese straws for ±10 minutes.
