I came up with this recipe and it came out so tasty and so easy you will love it. You don’t have to use a piping bag like I did. I did mine with a professional sized tip and it was not real hard but some work to do. I found out on my 2nd try with a home cooks star tip that it was even harder because the tips are meant for frosting not dough. It’s easier and better to roll the dough. You can just roll the dough into 24 logs (half, half, half again, and so on). If you eat one then you have 24 servings. If you eat two at a sitting then you have 12 servings.

Ingredients for around 12 servings

3 ounces mature cheddar cheese (I buy the cheddar that Costco sells) – shredded

4 ounces flour

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

2+1/2 ounce sweet butter – melted

1 egg – lightly beaten

non stick spray.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Lightly spray a baking sheet with non stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl mix together all the ingredients (expect non stick spray) (cheddar, flour, smoked paprika, Old Bay Seasoning, butter, egg, baking powder)

Either pipe (with a large professional sized tip) or roll logs with the dough.

I piped and used a tip like this.

When you have your cheese straws made put the baking sheet on your middle rack and keep them in the oven until you start to brown. Ovens do differ and the size of your straw may differ. Mine took 25 minutes.

They came out FORKING DELICIOUS!!!!!
