PAm's finest cheese straws are similar from memory (it must be about 30 years since I made these as I don't really eat cheese, but recall these being tasty).

Oh the original cookbook has a slightly different recipe, which I have never made.

125g butter
1-1/2C plain flour
220g grated cheddar
1 egg
Salt

Rub butter into flour. Add 155g cheese, stir in egg, mix well. Roll out dough to 3mm thickness on floured board.
Cut out 5mm x 11mm strips.
Twist two strips together, place on greased oven tray, sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in hot oven 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with salt while still hot. Loosen and allow to cool on trays.
Makes approx 60
