For 12 portions

Ingredients

250 g all-purpose flour
150 g cold butter or Hera margarine
100 g sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg (for brushing)
100 g grated cheese (e.g., Edam, Gouda, Cheddar)
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons flaxseed

Optional: sesame seeds, caraway

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt and add the butter cut into cubes. Use your hands to form a crumbly mixture. Add the sour cream and work into a smooth, non-sticky dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Shaping the sticks After chilling, roll the dough into a sheet about 4 mm thick. Use a knife or pastry wheel to cut into strips about 8–10 cm long.
Brushing and decorating Transfer the sticks to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with the beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese and your favorite seeds.
Baking Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 15–20 minutes, until the sticks are golden and crispy.
