Cheese snack shapes

Cheese straws are mouthwatering and delicious.  That's all I can say about them, apart from using wholemeal flour in this recipe and some smoked paprika (one of my favourite spices).  There's enough salt in the cheese, so no need to add any.

115g (4oz) wholemeal flour

50g (2oz) margarine/butter (I prefer stork marg)

50g (2oz) mature cheddar

1 egg yolk

3-4 tsp water

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

------------------

1.  Put the marg and flour in a mixture and mix together.  Or, if you are feeling energetic, do it by hand.

2.  Add the egg, cheese and paprika and mix.

3.  Add water until it is a good pastry texture.

4.  Store in a fridge for 30 minutes.

5.  Roll out and cut into straws/shapes or make balls, but make them a similar size so that they bake evenly.

6.  Cook in a hot (200 degrees C) oven for 7-12 minutes or until golden.
