CAYENNE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Grate the cheese on the medium holes of a grater to make 4 cups. Cover the grated cheese and leave out with the butter until at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (Note: You need to grate your own cheese here--no pre-grated.)
• When ready to make the cheese straws, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• Mix the flour, salt, cayenne, mustard and black pepper in a medium bowl.
• Put the cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until fairly smooth. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Check the consistency; it should be just stiff enough to pipe. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scrape the dough into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. Use a 1/4-inch tip or cut a 1/4-inch hole in the plastic bag. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in 5- to 6-inch strips. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Clean pumpkin seeds, making sure there is as little pumpkin debris as possible. Pat seeds dry and place in a bowl.
• Add melted butter, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper; stir until evenly coated. Transfer to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer, and sprinkle a light layer of salt over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until dry and golden brown, about 1 hour.
