The following is an incredibly easy recipe of cheese straws which can be made easily, I used whole wheat flour and some grated carrots to make it more healthier. I am in love with recipes which doesn't seek help of any baking agent and this is one among it, so all the more happy :)
Recently bought Vikas Khanna's cook book and loved this recipe .. made few alterations using whole wheat flour and making it veg. The original recipe called for shredded chicken .. so you can actually use that!

Ok so following is the recipe.
200 gms whole wheat flour
125 gms butter

50 gms parmesan cheese

one med sized carrot finely grated
chopped coriander - 2 tbspn
salt and pepper and any other seasoning you wish ( like paprika or herbs)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Sift the flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt.
Add the butter and rub in until it looks fine like bread crumbs.
Stir in the cheese, beat the egg and egg yolk and stir in the seasoning too.
Mix to a dough.
Take small balls from the dough and roll into thin straws and lay on a greased baking tray ( I don't use any parchment or foil to line the tray)
Bake for 15- 20 mins. Cool for 5 mins and then transfer to a cooling rack.
And is done .. just munch on! :)
