Appetizers

Yield:

20 servings

Ingredients

• 1 lb Puff pastry
• 3/4 c Parmesan; grated

Ingredients

• 1. Roll out puff pastry dough into a rectangle 20 by 24 inches.
• Sprinkle half of the Parmesan evenly over the dough and gently press cheese
• into the dough with the rolling pin.
• 2. Fold the dough in half crosswise, roll it out again to 20 by 24
• inches, and sprinkle on remaining cheese.
• 3. Using a sharp thin knife, cut the dough into 1/3-inch strips. Take
• each strip by its end and twist until evenly corkscrewed. Lay the twists
• of dough on an ungreased baking sheet, arranged so they are just touching
• each other; this will prevent untwisting.
• 4. Set the baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350F oven and
• bake until the straws are crisp, puffed brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• 5. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes, then cut apart with a
• sharp knife. Finish cooling the straws on a rtack, then store them in an
• airtight tin or plastic bag until serving time. They will stay fresh for
• about 1 week. About 20 straws. Arrange a basketful on the bar when
• entertaining and watch them disappear! Source: The Silver Palate Cookbook
