These are just a little something I knocked up with the left over pastry from the quiche. But I always used to make them when I was child. Growing up we didn’t have the well stocked kitchen that we have now. So what I would make all depended on what was available in the cupboards. We always seemed to have the stuff to make these though, plus they were my dad’s favourites. There is nothing better than a cheese straw coated in delicious dip. I think I shall be making them more often!
