  1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4 / 180 C. You will need 2 baking trays, lightly oiled.

  2. In a large bowl rub flour and butter together with your fingertips until you have a texture resembling fine breadcrumbs. Mix in grated Tickler and eggs, reserving 1 tablespoon to glaze. Use your hands to knead the dough into a ball.

  3. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Dust with a little extra flour and roll out into a 15cm/6” deep oblong, the thickness of a £1 coin. Trim edges so you have a neat oblong, you can re-roll the trimmings to make more straws. Brush the surface with remaining egg, scatter over chopped Tickler, a good pinch of pepper. Cut into strips roughly 2cm wide, and transfer to the baking sheets, spacing them 2cm apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes until deep golden, cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

  4. Mix all salsa ingredients together in a bowl and serve with the Tickler straws.
