These savory gluten-free cheese sticks are a delightful snack, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, cornstarch, potato starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until the mixture is crumbly.
Use your hands or a pastry cutter for better mixing.
Add the cream to the mixture and beat until smooth.
Ensure the cream is cold for better consistency.
Mix in the cheddar cheese until the dough is uniform in color.
Grate the cheese finely for easier mixing.
Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness on a clean surface.
If the dough sticks, use parchment paper.
Cut the dough into thin strips and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Use a pizza cutter for quick and even strips.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the oven to prevent over-baking.
Let the cheese sticks cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
