Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
pinch of cayenne (omit if you are serving to children)
2 tbsp granulated garlic (or a flavour of your choice)
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
1 cup dry grated Parmesan cheese (I buy any brand on sale and freeze)
1 egg, beaten
1-2 tbsp water

Preparation:
Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
Put all dry ingredients into a food processor and process to mix well.
Add the butter and process until coarse granules form.
While the blades are running, pour in the egg and process until a soft ball forms. If this does not happen, drizzle little bits of water until a soft ball forms.
Remove from processor and using a small amount of flour, roll out the dough to about 1/2cm thickness. Cut into 10cm x 1cm straws and position evenly on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-12 minutes until golden.
Remove and allow to cool. This will store well in a cool, dark place.
