Cheese Straws - Gluten Free

I got this recipe years and years ago from a co-worker, and I adapted the recipe to be gluten-free. (For the original recipe just substitute all the flours with 1 cup wheat flour and leave out the xanthan gum)
These cheese straws are really delicious -- good served alone as a snack or with a salad or soup.
With wheat flour the dough is much easier to twist into staws, but do the best you can with the gluten-free dough, it handles quite well.

Ingredients

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup tapioca starch

1/4 cup potato starch

1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

1 cup grated cheese

1 tsp worchestershire sauce in 3 Tbsp water

Method

1. Combine flour , salt and cheese in a bowl

2. cut in butter

3 add cold water - more if necessary to make easily handled dough\

4. Roll into a thin sheet (using sweet rice flour on rolling surface)

5. cut into 5"x1/2" strips and twist each strip.

6. put on pan and chill in refrigerator for 1/2 hour or more.

7. Bake at 450' about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

These are very good... no one would guess they are gluten-free!!
