Kee’s Cheese Straws

½ lb very sharp cheese

1 stick butter or oleo

1 ½ c sifted flour

salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Grate cheese; melt butter and mix thoroughly with cheese.  Add flour gradually and mix well.  (Best way to mix is by hand) Put in cookie press and cook about 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Watch carefully not to burn.  I use a 10 oz block of sharp cheese and add 2 T more of butter than for ½ pound of cheese. I do not use more flour.
