Make & Do

Easy Peasy Cheese Straws

This was a quick emergency idea I came up with when the baby was poorly and my 12 year old daughter was badgering me for something to eat! She completed the task herself, with only a few verbal instructions, and was even awesome enough to take some of the photos for the blog.

Jenn - you rock!

Ingredients

Method

1. Roll the pastry out on a floured worktop.
   
2. Sprinkle some of the cheese over the pastry.
   
3. Fold the pastry over and re-roll the pastry out.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the cheese is used up.
5. Sprinkle the top of the pastry with sesame seeds and use the rolling pin to press them slightly into the pastry.
   
6. Cut the pastry in half down the length, and then into strips.
   
7. Seperate the strips and carefully lift them onto a lined (or well greased) baking sheet.
   
8. Bake in the hot oven (200C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
9. Leave to cool, then eat.
