Cheese Sticks or Straws

Three tablespoons of flour; three tablespoons of Parmesan cheese; one tablespoon of butter; one tablespoon of milk, one-half saltspoon of salt, one-fourth saltspoon of pepper; one-eighth saltspoon of nutmeg; one egg (yolk only). Mix the dry ingredients, and add the milk, the egg, and the butter, softened. Mix all well with a spoon, and when the dough is smooth, divide it into two parts. Roll these very thin, cut them into narrow strips three inches long, and bake in a slow oven fifteen minutes. These sticks may be served either hot or cold, and they may be arranged in bunches of six or eight, each bundle being tied with narrow ribbon, or they may be piled on a plate in log-cabin style. A few grains of cayenne may be added to this recipe. If tightly enclosed in a tin, these sticks will keep a long time.
