These cheese straws are a great addition to a holiday buffet, whether it’s hors d’œuvres or a full meal. They take only a few minutes to prepare. Serve them standing up in a glass jar, tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar to match your decor. These are great treats adults and kids both like.

Cheese Straws

Cheese Straws

2 c. flour, 2 c. grated Gruyère cheese, 3/4 cup softened butter, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, fresh ground sea salt, 1/2 c. water

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat together butter, garlic powder and cayenne powder and cheese, set aside. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine flour into cheese mixture and slowly add water. Stir until well mixed allow dough to rest for about 30 minutes. Pull dough into small balls and roll into a long log, twist both ends of dough to create a spiral pattern. Press cheese straws on baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Sometimes when I’m baking and cooking, I remember all the things I used to watch my mother make and I feel a bit like her. A few months ago my mother was playing with puff pastry dough and told me while she was baking, that she felt like me. Talk about role reversal.

So to honor those thoughts, I’m sharing my favorite hors d’oeuvre recipe. I first made them for Hubster and my wedding, I made it recently for my BFF’s baby shower.

Salmon Puffs

Salmon Puffs

Ingredients:
Pastry dough, 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, zest of one lemon, 1 small can of salmon, 2 Tbsp. dried dill weed

Directions:
Preheat oven at 350°F. Using a biscuit cutter, make small rounds of dough. Press dough into mini muffin cups. Soften cream cheese, stir in lemon zest and dill. Mix salmon to cheese mixture. Spoon mixture into mini muffin cups and smooth down the top to make filling level. Bake for 20 minutes and serve hot.

*These can easily be made ahead of time and heated up on a crisper tray before serving.
