Blue Cheese Straws

1. 1

   In a food processor, combine the blue cheese, flour, cornstarch, butter, salt and pepper and pulse until the dough just comes together.

2. 2

   Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a 4-inch disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, or for up to 1 day.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 375u00b0. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. 4

   On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-by-6-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the dough and press lightly to help them adhere. Cut the dough into 6-by- 1/2 -inch strips and transfer them to the baking sheet; twist the ends in opposite directions to make spirals.

6. 6

   Bake the cheese straws for about 15 minutes, or until crisp and brown. Let the straws cool on the baking sheet before serving.
