Cheese Sticks

Preparation:

Preparation: Sift the white flour into a bowl and add the grated Parmesan, 40 g of butter, softened and cut into pieces, three tablespoons of whipped cream, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Work the ingredients with your hands until you have obtained a consistent and homogeneous paste. Roll it out with a rolling pin on the pastry board and divide the dough into strips about one centimeter wide. Cut each strip into five-centimetre-long pieces and place them in a pan greased with the rest of the butter. Sprinkle the sticks with the grated Gruyère and cook them in the oven at 180 degrees for about a quarter of an hour, or until they have taken on a nice golden colour. At the end of cooking, remove them from the oven, transfer them to a serving dish and serve hot.
