Cheese Straws Appetizer
by Tina
INGREDIENTS: * 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon seasoned salt * 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard * 1/2 cup shortening * 3 to 4 tablespoons water * 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese DIRECTIONS: Sift together the flour, salt, and dry mustard. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles meal. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of water over and stir with a fork until flour is moistened and forms a ball. Add more water if needed. Turn dough out onto a floured surface or parchment paper. Roll into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Sprinkle half of the dough surface with 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal. Roll out the same dough into a rectangle again and sprinkle half with another 1/3 cup shredded cheese Repeat this process one more time. Then, roll into a rectangle 1/4-inch thick and cut into 3-inch strips. Place cheese straws onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 425° for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
