Cheese Straws Cracker Un-Recipe

My gran used to make cheese straws, basically shortcrust pastry with cheese in the dough and more grated cheese sprinkled on top. She cut hers into strips and twisted them. No reason why you shouldn't cut yours into political shapes instead.

Be sure to use a good sharp cheese with plenty of flavor so they taste of cheese not pastry. A little fresh ground black pepper in the dough helps too, but leaves little black dots.
