I also don't have any pictures of this project, but that doesn't really matter. These were fast, easy, and yummy. I had to add a little bit of water to make it stick together more, so the cooking time was longer, and I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top. But other than that, I did the recipe just like it said to. They were a quick snack, but got a bit stale after three days. I was storing them in a zip-lock sandwich bag, but someone left the bag a bit open. I think they would have been fine if that didn't happen. So next time I make them, I'll put them in something that you can't shut half-way.
I got this recipe from Healthy Lunchboxes for Kids, by Amanda Grant. The recipes in it are a bit easy, but the ones I've tried are good.
Cheese Straws
Ingredients
A heaping cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting.
3 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing.
1/3-1/2 cup strong Cheddar, grated. (I used Parmesan instead)
1 small egg, beaten
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, fahrenheit
2. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine bread crumbs. Add the grated cheese and mix together.
3. Add the beaten egg and stir the flour into the flour until the mixture starts to come together. Then us your hands to work it into a ball.
4. Sprinkle some flour onto the counter and onto a rolling pin. Roll out half the dough into a rectangle about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut widthwise into straws. Carefully lift them onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Bake for ten minutes, until golden.
5. Let the straws cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet and then carefully transfer them to a wire rack. Eat warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container.
