Esta's Cheese Straws
Esta'S Cheese Straws is an easy dinner. Made with 1 lb. sharp or extra sharp cheese, soft, 2 sticks (1/2 lb.) margarine (not butter), 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper and 3 c. plain flour (may need a little more; i use white lily flour), this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Great for entertaining guests or a cozy night in.
Mix soft cheese and margarine.
Add red pepper.
Add flour, one cup at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the bowl. (Add flour until it pulls away but is still soft.)
Shape into balls (size of a quarter) and place a pecan half on top.
Bake at 350Β° (preheated) for about 20 minutes until crisp.
If you have a pastry press, use the piece that will make straws or flat sticks.
