Ingredients for Kaasstengels (Cheese Shortbreads):
- 200 g cheese (Edam is better, if not then gouda, then cheddar), grated.
- 500 g mixed butter (salted) and margarine (or 250g each).
- 800 g flour.
- 1 egg yolk.
Step by step how to cook Kaasstengels (Cheese Shortbreads):
- Grate cheese, mix it well with the butter-margarine mix with mixer or by hand inside the large bowl..
- Add flour little by little, mix everything well..
- Grease baking tray with margarine using the large brush..
- Put the batter into the cookie extruder, extrude and cut into matchstick length. If you don't have any, you can use a rolling pin (or a bottle) then cut into matchstick-long and finger-wide shape. If you feel lazier, you can make ball-shapes, but the crunch will be less satisfactory due to the thickness difference..
- Mix eggyolk with 1 tablespoon of water inside a small bowl. Brush the top of the kaasstengels for a nice shine. Add a small bit of grated cheese on top for decoration. You can skip the eggwashing step if you like, still tastes good..
- Preheat the oven (180 degree) for 5 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes and check whether it's cooked through, if not, add 10 more minutes..
