Cheese straws

Use a little butter to grease a baking sheet and set the oven to preheat at 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

Sieve the flour into a bowl and add the butter.

Rub in the butter until it creates ‘breadcrumbs’.

Add the cheese, then half the beaten egg and mix with a knife. Bring the dough together with your hands.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is 1/2cm thick. Cut out the ‘straws’ and place on the baking sheet.

Glaze with the rest of the egg if you have enough, or some milk.

Put in the oven for 10 minutes until golden brown.
