Kate Scott’s Cheese Straws/Waffers
1 lb. Grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups plain flour (NOT self rising)
1 stick butter
3 tsp Tabasco
1 1/2 tsp salt
red pepper
grate cheese as fine as possible
preheat oven 350-375
important to sift flour (if sifter not available use small strainer)
add sifted flour slowly to grated cheese stirring constantly
melt butter, add salt, Tabasco & dash of red pepper
stir this to flour/cheese mixture, mixing well
pinch out enough mixture to make quarter size balls
place balls on cookie sheet at least one inch apart
flatten each ball with fork, crisscross pattern (waffers do not rise)
bake about 15 minutes-halfway through sprinkle tops with red pepper
don’t wait on tops to brown....only the bottoms brown
*if you want to make straws, use a cookie press (waffers are much easier)
