Christmas Cheese Straws Recipe

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

225g / 8 oz puff pastry
115g / 4 oz grated cheese
2 teaspoon mustard (optional)
plain flour to roll out

Method

1 Preheat the oven to around 200C / Gas Mark 6 / 400F. Then sprinkle the worktop with a little flour.

2 Roll out the pastry to make a large rectangle. Spread the mustard and cheese over the pastry then cut into thin strips (around 4 inches long). If you want to you can always twist each strip very gently for an alternative effect.

3 On a well greased baking tray, place the straws on and then put in the over and bake for between 6-10 minutes or just until the cheese straws are golden and crisp.

4 Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool until required.
