Ingredients:

2 cups low carb baking mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
2 tbls water

2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp salt

Cooking Instructions:

Mix bake mix and sour cream together until you get a biscuit like firm dough. Chill dough for 1 hour or more.

Preheat oven to 425?F and butter 2 large baking sheets.

Make an egg wash by beating 1 large egg with 2 tablespoons water.

In a bowl toss together Parmesan, spices, and salt.

On a lightly floured surface (use bake mix) roll out biscuit dough into a 1/2" layer. Brush with some egg wash. Sprinkle Parmesan mixture over top. Fold dough inwards so that the spices are in the middle. Press firmly to force out any air pockets. Roll out pastry slightly to make layers adhere (rectangle should be about 10 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches). Brush with egg wash and with a sharp large knife or pastry wheel cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide sticks.

Arrange cheese straws about 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets, pressing ends onto baking sheets. Bake cheese straws in batches in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes.
