Glorious!!! I added two spoons of COlmans mustard to really bring out the cheesy flavour but used SR flour instead of plain. They turned out more bready than straws but they were gorgeous - 24 Sep 2011
I didn't really like this recipe, it asks for far too much cheese and butter, I can make a very generous bowlful with 150g cheese and 40g of butter. Also, the recipe mentions nothing about Colman's Mustard, which is a must have option in a cheesy nibble. - 01 Jan 2012
Used different ingredients. added an egg as the mix seemed a bit dry - 18 Apr 2011
