• 125 g flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¼ tsp dry mustard
• 90 g parmesan cheese
• 90 g butter
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tsp cold water
• 1 egg white lightly beaten
• Paprika

In a food processor mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper and mustard. Reserve three teaspoons of the parmesan and set aside. Add the butter and remaining parmesan to the mixture and process until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. With the machine running, add the egg yolks and water to form a dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board to a rectangle (approx 9” x 12”) Trim the edges and brush the surface with the egg white and sprinkle over the reserved parmesan. Cut into straws or twist two together to make plaits and bake at 200C for 8-10 mins or until lightly browned. Cool and place on a wire rack and when cold dust with paprika.
