- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease cookie sheet with shortening.
- Mix all remaining ingredients in medium bowl with fork to make a dough.
- Sprinkle a clean surface (such a kitchen counter or possibly breadboard with flour. Put dough on surface. Roll ball of dough around 3 or possibly 4 times. Knead dough quickly and lightly by folding, pressing, and turning. Repeat 10 times.
- Divide dough in half. Roll or possibly pat half of the dough into 12- by 8-inch rectangle.
- Adult help: Cut dough lengthwise into eight 1-inch-wide strips. Fold each strip lengthwise in half to make it more narrow. Healthy pinch the edges to seal.
- Twist each strip into a pretzel shape. Put pretzels, seam sides down, on cookie sheet.
- Beat one large egg in small bowl with fork.
- Brush pretzels with the beaten egg, then sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.
- Bake 10 to 15 min or possibly till golden. Remove pretzels from cookie sheet with spatula to wire rack. Cold. Repeat making pretzels with the rest of the dough
- Here's another idea...Make Peanutty Pretzels: Leave out the cheese. Use 2 Tbsp. crunchy peanut butter in place of the margarine. Use 2 Tbsp. minced salted peanuts in place of the coarse salt.
- This recipe yields 16 pretzels.
- HINT: A pizza cutter makes quick work of cutting the dough into strips.
