Southern Cheese Straws
4 ounces butter or margarine, softened (1 stick) 10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Splash of Tabasco 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour METHOD Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter or margarine. Mix in cheese, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, and stir to blend. Slowly stir in flour until completely blended. Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and shape dough into a roll. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for several hours. When chilled, slice dough in four pieces lengthwise. Roll each piece until it is as thin as a drinking straw. If the rolls become unwieldy cut them in half, crosswise. Slice into straw lengths, and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown and semi-crisp. Yield: About 4 dozen, depending on thickness of slices Enjoy Sugar Syl Says: The kindness you spread today will be gathered up and returned to you tomorrow. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
