3-Ingredient Southern Cheese Straws
There’s something wonderfully old-fashioned about a batch of homemade cheese straws. They’re crisp, buttery, cheesy, and just the kind of little savory bite that disappears from a serving plate much faster than you expect!
And the best part? You only need three ingredients to make them.
Sharp cheddar cheese, softened butter, and self-rising flour come together into a soft dough that can be piped into classic cheese straws or shaped by hand. After a quick bake, the edges turn lightly browned and crisp while the inside stays wonderfully cheesy.

What Are Southern Cheese Straws?
Southern cheese straws are savory baked snacks made from a simple cheese-based dough.
This version keeps things especially easy with just:
Sharp cheddar cheese
Unsalted butter
Self-rising flour
The dough can be transferred to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for a classic ridged appearance, or shaped into ropes by hand if you prefer a simpler approach.
The finished cheese straws are baked until lightly browned and crisp around the edges.
