Instructions
- 1
A quarter of a pound of flour, two ounces butter, two ounces grated parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and a few grains of cayenne pepper.
- 2
Mix into a paste with the yolk of an egg.
- 3
Roll out to the thickness of a silver quarter, about four or five inches long; cut into strips about a third of an inch wide, twist them as you would a paper spill and lay them on a baking-sheet slightly floured.
- 4
Bake in a moderate oven until crisp, but they must not be the least brown.
- 5
If put away in a tin these straws will keep a long time.
- 6
Serve cold, piled tastefully on a glass dish.
- 7
You can make the straws of remnants of puff pastry, rolling in the grated cheese.
