Cheese Twists

Empty pie crust mix into a large mixing bowl.

Add cheese and mix in with a fork.

Sprinkle water over one tablespoon at a time. Mix lightly with a fork just until mixture holds together and leaves sides of bowl clean.

Roll out on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut rings with small doughnut cutter or 2 different sizes of round cutters.

Cut remaining pastry into 1/2-inch wide strips about 6 inches long.

Twist strips once or twice and place 1 inch apart on large cookie sheets.

Bake in a hot oven (425°) for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove carefully and cool on wire rack.

When cool, thread 2 or 3 strips through each ring and arrange on serving dish.

Makes about 3 dozen sticks and 12 rings.
