Has anyone got a simple recipe for cheese straws using either coconut or almond flour that they have made? I have googled and the majority of recipes seem to be either US ingredients and amounts or otherwise hidden in Pinterest.
I'm trying to build up a new little recipe file at home for things we like but used to make the old way.

Hi I haven't actually made these, but here's a cheese cracker recipe for you
Nutritional values (per serving, 4 crackers)
Total Carbs 6.3 grams
Fiber 4.5 grams
Net Carbs 1.7 grams
Protein 8.4 grams
Fat 13.4 grams of which Saturated 2.7 grams
Energy (calories) 168 kcal
Magnesium 77 mg (19% RDA)
Potassium 197 mg (10% EMR)
Macronutrient ratio: Calories from carbs (4%), protein (21%), fat (75%).

Ingredients (makes 8 servings / 32 crackers)
· 1 cupalmond flour(100 g/ 3.5 oz)
· ½ cupflaxmeal(75 g/ 2.6 oz)
· 2 tbspwhole psyllium husks(8 g/ 0.3 oz)
· 1 cup gratedParmesan cheese(90 g/ 3.2 oz)
· 1 tsp salt (I likepink Himalayan)
· ¼ tspblack pepper
· 1 cup water (240 ml/ 8 fl oz)
Instructions
1. Mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, flaxmeal, psyllium, salt and pepper.
Just like inlow-carb tortillas,whole psyllium husks work better than psyllium husk powder but you can use either. If you have psyllium husk powder, use only 1 tablespoon instead of 2 tablespoons.

2. Add grated Parmesan cheese and combine well. Pour in the water and...

3. ... using your hands or a spatula, mix well. Let the dough sit for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 160 C / 320 F. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.

4. Place half of the dough on a parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out until the dough is about very thin (about ¼ cm / ⅛ inch). You can use anonstick silicon covered rollerand asilicon mat.To achieve a rectangular shape, use the edges of the parchment paper or silicon mat to fold the dough over from the sides...

5. ... and then roll again to flatten with the rolling pin. Repeat as needed.

6. Using apizza cutter,cut the dough into 16 equal pieces. Repeat the process for the other half of the dough that you kept aside.

7. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Try withcheesy bacon dip,salmon paté,guacamoleormarinara sauce.Tip:If you use parchment paper like I did, the crackers may stick to it. You can avoid it by using asilicon matinstead. If your crackers stick, you can remove the parchment paper by placing a wet kitchen towel on the bottom side over the parchment paper. Leave just for 20-30 seconds and peel it off the crackers carefully.Store at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.Enjoy!

I'm with you on trying to build up a new recipe file of old fave.I can't help yet with cheese straws but I can totally recommend chia seed pudding. Absolutely magic with almond milk, cinnamon and vanilla, only sweetened as you want. I used Stevia. Next day, squirty cream and raspberries
