How to Make The Best Cheese Straws | What’s Cooking | Southern Living

[@beverlypeterson291]

How to make cheese straws WITHOUT a recipe😳 1lb cheese, I’m guessing 1 cup of butter since you had 2 wax paper butter wrappers in your hand but, then it’s just paprika, cayenne, salt & apparently about 3 cups of flour??? What the heck? Not even I’m the “more” part?

[@heavinw3958]

I've tried the Guyanese 🇬🇾 cheese straw and for me it is the best that I've had so far 😍 ♥️

[@sonneldavid-longe7502]

Totally agree

[@goddessnation7045]

Yassssss!

In India, we add white sesame seeds to the batter before heating. Also, one hack is to coat the inside on the press with oil to make it smooth, already make dough into cylindrical shape before putting in.

I love sesame seeds, and that sounds good.

What’s the point of showing people how to make something with no measurements?

[@RockStop22]

I have never heard of these before, but then again I am Canadian. They look so delicious and I will do my best to make them! Thank you Ivy!

I donated my Mirro cookie press to a church thrift store near me because I didn't use it anymore. I was friendly with the woman who ran it. I'd find little treasures I could use, so the next time I went there, she told me that cookie press whas on the shelf maybe twenty minutes before an elderly woman snatached it up & said hers got lost in a move years ago & she'd been looking ever since. Cheers my heart that somebody was happy to have it & wiil use it!😊

I am 84 and have my grandmother’s Cheese Straws recipe. She never used a cookie press

Greetings from Bangalore, India. The cheese straws look very nice. I have never made them but would like to make for my cheese loving young grandsons. I wish you had given the clear recipe for this though, as in all the good explanation you have given, you seem to have forgotten to mention the quantities except for cheese. The cookie press that you use is exactly similar to a press we have here, which we use to make a traditional savoury snack called “chakli”. It is in fact called a chakli press. It is not hard to fill the dough into it. We just roll the dough by hand into cylinders about the length and diameter of the press, and slide it into the chamber of the press. Very lightly greasing the inside of the chamber helps. That’s easy. The press comes with multiple discs which have different sizes of holes which helps in making chakli s...in this case straws...in different designs and sizes. Thanks for the video.

I don't have a cookie press. I'm going to be using a Ziploc bag with a large cake icing tip. I think that will work well.

[@ericmgarrison]

Roll them in small logs and cut them into coins. Just keep an eye on them so they are golden and not brown.

[@JessSJ2DC]

Excellent helpful video!!! Thank you! Can’t wait to make these.

[@stevekahle1248]

Recipe? Seriously? No on wants to her her speak for 10 minutes while giving no measurements or portions.

[@boostismagic]

I did...enjoyed listening, actually

[@typower9]

@@boostismagic I did too. And experimenting is more fun than following a recipe anyway. 😊

Cheese Straws 2 - 8 oz blocks sharp Cheese Shredded 3 cups of sifted plain flour 2 tsps Cayenne Pepper 2 tsps Paprika 2 tsps. Salt Crucial to success: Grate your own Cheese. Use authentic Butter

[@thesmallerhalf1968]

Authentic butter? Not included in your ingredients list, as confusing as the video’s lack of.

[@saraw8503]

I LOVE a crispy cheese straws.

[@findmeinnature]

I've seen cheese straws in one of my 1950s cookbook, I'm going to make them

[@purplestarowl89]

Oh cool i've never heard of these before i have to try them 😲💖💖

[@sharonjordan8465]

What is your measurements for each ingredients?

[@cynd322]

Ingredients 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened 1 pound block sharp orange Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 to 2 teaspoons ground red pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 4 cups all-purpose flour

[@lisabigon1426]

I was in a hurry and did use extra sharp shredded cheese. I took 2 tablespoons of the flour out and added about 2 T. water to the dough. It was a really stiff dough but they were devoured. I'll make sure to keep the blocks on hand in the future.

Me gets the impression she is talking to 2nd graders.🤔

[@typower9]

I like the way she talks and at least she's natural and not full of herself unlike a lot of youtubers! Those ones that are really put me off. I usually abandon the video and try another one.

@@typower9 I'm glad you said that. I watched it again. Mea Culpa.🤐
