Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup light olive oil
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. milk
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt (less, if cheese is salty)
- 1 cup grated Greek cheeses
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or more)
Method
- The mixing of the dough may be begun with an electric mixer, but should be finished by hand.
- Beat the butter until fluffy, then lower the speed and add the olive oil.
- Continue beating, and when fluffy beat in the milk, baking powder, salt, if necessary, and cheese.
- Begin adding flour, but after 1 cup stop beating with the mixer and beat in the remaining flour by hand, adding only enough to make dough soft enough to roll into strips.
- Knead a few minutes.
- Spread or roll on buttered sheet (jelly roll tray, cookie sheet, or any flat pan) to a thickness of half-finger's width and cut into squares of desired size (the smaller the better, since they are rich).
- Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for 20 to 25 minutes, moving to the top shelf for the last minutes to achieve a golden chestnut color.
- (If making the little canes, the baking time will be 10 to 12 minutes.)
- Remove when done and cook on a rack.
