Christmas Cheese Straws Recipe
225g / 8 oz puff pastry
115g / 4 oz grated cheese
2 teaspoon mustard (optional)
plain flour to roll out
1 Preheat the oven to around 200C / Gas Mark 6 / 400F. Then sprinkle the worktop with a little flour.
2 Roll out the pastry to make a large rectangle. Spread the mustard and cheese over the pastry then cut into thin strips (around 4 inches long). If you want to you can always twist each strip very gently for an alternative effect.
