Who are a cheese lover?? I will the first one to rise my hand. hihihi.. I love cheese especially cheddar cheese despite there are a lot of cheese types because it is suitable with my tongue. At this time, I was making castengels or pronounces as Kastengel in Indonesia. This cheese stick cookies are so tasteful and so cheesy. The combination of two types of cheese (cheddar and edam) will satisfied your tongue.
Kastengel is commonly shaped in rectangular and will have grated cheese on top. Indonesian people usually have this kind of cookies during Idul Fitri or Eid Mubarak. However, recently people will have this snack more often although there is no special day to celebrate.
I was making this cookies as a special request from my customer who is a cheese lover. You wouldn't stop till the end to eat this cookies (kindly like addiction.. hahaha) because it melts on your tongue. ^^
Kastengel comes from Dutch language with two words, Kaas and Stengels. I think there are a lot of cookies and cakes that have influence from Dutch since Dutch Colonial came to Indonesia. Kaas means cheese and stengels means bars. So that way the main ingredient is cheese and is shape like a bar.
Do you know that Kastengel in Indonesia is slightly different with Kastengel in Dutch version. Kastengel there is longer than in Indonesia which is like a rules with 30cm lenght. What a long Kastengel!! hahaha
When the cookies came to Indonesia, it was automatically adapted with all ingredients included oven in Indonesia. Because we use to be have a smaller oven than in Netherland, then the Kastengel was cut shorter.
It is very interesting to know the story behind every cakes, cookies, and recipes we have now.
