• Plain flour 80 gm
• Salt ½ tsp
• Black pepper ¼ tsp (crushed)
• Butter 40 gm
• Butter 2 tbsp for frying
• Onion ½ (finely sliced)
• Cheddar cheese 75 gm (grated)
• Egg 1
• Baking powder 1 pinch
• Milk 1 tsp
• Mustard powder ½ tsp

Preheat the oven to 180 C.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sieve the flour, salt and pepper into a bowl.

Add 40 gm butter into the dry ingredients and rub until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Heat butter in frying pan and fry onion.

Transfer onion and cheese into flour mixture.

Mix until everything combines well.

Beat egg in a bowl with milk then add mustard powder.

Mix until combine nicely.

Shift half egg mixture into dry ingredients and stir with the fork until it starts to form a ball and then use your hands to bring it together into soft dough.

Knead the dough gently for 2 minutes.

Then roll it out using a rolling pin until it is 5mm thick.

Cut it into your desired size sticks and place onto baking tray.

Brush the remaining egg mix over the sticks.

Bake them in the oven for about 8 minutes.

Leave on the baking trays to continue cooking for a further 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These sticks taste best warm.
