First Recipe

So this is the frist recipe for foodwarez and it's a good one. Our first recipe is Cheese Straws. Imagine pie dough or those ritz crackers. They are crunchy yet soft and flaky, there also cheesy and have a little warmth (spice).

Softwarez
1lb of sharp cheddar cheese (the sharper the better)
3-1/2cups SIFTED all purpose flour
1/4-1/2tsp or more of cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp of salt
3 sticks of COLD butter (the colder the better)

Hardwarez

1 large bowl
1 rolling pin
baking sheets
oven
latex gloves (optional){they help a lot}
pizza cutter
cheese grater

The process

1. grate the cheese with a fine grater (again the finer the better) store in fridge
2. measure and sift the flour, salt and cayenne pepper into the large bowl
3 cut the butter into small pieces
4 "cut" (with your fingers mash) the butter into the flour until it looks like course crumbs
5 mix in the cheese
6 roll out 1/4 of the dough until it its about 1/4 of a inch
7 using a pizza cutter cut into small strips about 1inch by 2inchs
8 bake at 350degrees until just lightly browned about 10-12 min
9 cool between sheets of wax paper
10 eat and become addicted
