- 100 g flour (plain, gluten free or oat)
- 25 g cream cheese (I used oat based cheese spread)
- 25 g butter
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- pinch of ground black pepper
- 25-50 ml water (or milk)
- *optional 25-50g grated cheese
- Toppings: Milk, sesame seeds, nigella seeds
Prepare
-
Put the flour in a bowl, and rub in the cheese and butter with fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
-
Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and pepper and mix through.
-
Gradually add the water (or milk) and bring the mix together until you have a soft dough. If using grated cheese, add this in too.
-
Lightly flour your worktop (or a board) and press (or roll) the mixture out until about 0.5-1cm thick. Cut straw shapes (or use cutters to make stars, rounds etc.)
-
Brush the tops with milk and if using, sprinkle with sesame and or nigella seeds (or nuts).
-
Place on a non-stick (or greased) baking tray and bake at Gas Mark 5 (375f / 190c) for 12-15 minutes.
