Cheese Straws- Recipe Box #29

This lovely old box came from Loft Antiques in South Minneapolis, Minnesota in September of 2014.  Here's the box:


It was, apparently, owned by Evelyn Hill Kroman:

Here's the recipe:

Cheese Straws

1/4 t. salt
few grains pepper
few grains paprika
5 T. flour
1/2 T. fat
1/2 c. grated cheese
2 T. milk
1/2 c. bread crumbs

Add salt, pepper, and paprika to the flour.  Chop in the fat.  Add crumbs and cheese and enough milk to make stiff dough.  Knead until smooth.  Roll out to 1/8 in. thickness.  Cut in narrow strips.  Place on buttered baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until delicately brown.  Pile log cabin fashion on plate and serve with soup or salad. 

Enjoy!
