Ingredients

1 ¾ cups +2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (10.58 oz| 300 g)
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup +1 tablespoon parmesan cheese powder (5.29 oz | 150 g)
1 teaspoon oregano
¾ cup +2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (6.70 oz| 190 g)
2 tablespoons water
Oil to fry

Instructions

Prep: Heat oil in a frying pan.
Dough: Start by sifting your flour into a medium size bowl.
Next, add in the salt, cheese, and oregano. Mix together using your hands until nice and crumbly.
Then, gradually add in the melted butter and keep mixing until you obtain a soft dough. If the dough is too wet, do not add in the two tablespoons of water. You may not need it.
Continue to knead the dough together for 5 minutes. After that, roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick and slice it into long strips.
Fry: Begin placing the strips of dough in the heated frying pan. Fry the cheese straws on each side until golden brown in color, this will be about 2-3 minutes on each side. Depending on how hot your oil is will determine the time, keep a close eye on them and turn as needed.
When each side has been fried, remove the straws and place them onto a plate with paper towels to drain the excess grease.
Allow to cool down before serving. Enjoy!
