Units
Scale
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
10 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Splash of Tabasco sauce
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Cream butter. Mix in cheese, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce; stir to blend.
- Slowly stir in flour until completely blended. Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and shape dough into a roll. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for several hours.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- When chilled, slice dough in four pieces lengthwise. Roll each piece until it is as thin as a drinking straw. If the rolls become unwieldy cut them in half, crosswise.
- Slice into straw lengths, and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and semi-crisp.
