I think the person who made that first comment is an idiot. I followed this recipe and made a whole bunch of awesome cheese straws. Absolutely delicious and very easy.
I changed the recipe slightly, I used double measure of everything but I didn't find the need for 2 eggs, it' all bound up nicely with the 1 egg.
Don't listen to the moron who made that first comment these cheese straws are great tasting and easy. Perhaps it was too stupid to follow the recipe correctly.
