Here’s a treat that everyone enjoys.
1 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
2 TSP baking powder
1 TSP sugar
3/4 TSP salt
2 TBSP cold butter
2/3 C milk
1 egg, beaten
kosher salt
In a bowl, combine flour, cheese, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk until just moistened.
Knead on a floured surface for 1 minute; divide in half.
Roll each portion into a 12 inch by 8 inch rectangle; cut each into 8 inch long strips. Use something with a straight end to keep them the right size
Fold strips in half, pinching edges, and twist into pretzel shapes.
Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with egg and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.
