1/2 teaspoon Salt
cayenne pepper
1/3 cup Butter/or magarine
4 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Sesame seed -- toasted
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire

Place flour, cayenne pepper and salt in food processor. Cut butter into small cubes and add to processor, blend until pastry resembles coarse meal. Add finely shredded cheese and sesame seeds and process until just blanded. Add Worcestershire to water, sprinkle over flour mixture, and process until dough

Gather dough into a ball on lightly floured board, and roll out to 1/8" thick. Cut into strips 3" long and 1 1/2" wide or use cookie cutter

Excellent Cheese Straws

4 oz. butter, softened (1 stick)
10 oz. sharp grated cheddar cheese (a sharp white is good too)
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Nice dash of Tabasco (or use pinch cayenne)
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Cream butter. Mix in the cheese, Worcestershire, and Tabasco, and 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.

When chilled, slice dough in four pieces lengthwise. Roll each piece until it is as thin as a drinking straw. If they get too long, cut them in half.

Slice into straw lengths (or whatever length you like for your event) and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in PREHEATED oven for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown and semi-crisp.Remember they will cook a bit in the pan after taking them from the oven.

Depending on the thickness, you will get about 4 dozen.
