If you’re looking for the ultimate cheese straws recipe, you’ve come to the right place. Black Bomber, our famous extra mature Cheddar, lends its demandingly moreish flavours to these melt-in-the-mouth savoury snacks, which are golden, flaky and best served still warm from the oven.

METHOD

  1. Beat egg with 2 tablespoon milk and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sift the flour, mustard and nutmeg together into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and place in bowl with flour.
  3. Rub in the butter with your fingertips (alternatively this can be done in a food processor). Once mixture resembles breadcrumbs stir in the grated cheese and then the beaten egg to bind together, if a little dry add some more milk or cold water.
  4. Knead together with your hands and wrap in cling film to chill in fridge for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 190/Gas 5
  6. Roll out dough on floured surface to make a rough square shape approx. 1.5cm thick. Cut dough into strips and place on a greased non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Dust lightly with paprika and cool on a wire rack, best served warm.
