"Cheese straws are the ideal combination of cheese and crunch. Paprika sprinkled over the warm straws adds a little spice."
INGREDIENTS:

224 g shredded Cheddar cheese 115 g butter, softened

125 g all-purpose flour 2 g salt

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese and butter. Blend in the flour and salt. Form the mixture into 6 balls. Roll the balls into slender "snakes." Cut each "snake" into 4 straws. Bake the straws for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
