buckwheat teese straws Recipe
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar Teese
  • 1/4 cup Spectrum shortening, room temperature is fine
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup potato starch
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix flours, cornstarch, salt, xanthan gum, and thyme in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in shortening with a fork, until uniformly incorporated. (People always say to cut in the shortening until it looks like peas, but mine never looks like peas. It should be evenly incorporated: no big clumps of shortening and no flour just sitting around by itself.)

  6. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes or so while you wash the measuring cups.
  7. Roll out the dough (I didn't flour the wax paper I used) until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1/4 inch strips.
  8. Carefully transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
  9. Cool on a wire rack and demolish.
