Yummy appetizer for a party!! These were a hit for a recent get-together we had with friends.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 lb butter
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1 lb cheddar cheese, grated
coarse salt
Directions:
1. Combine the flour, butter, and cayenne with a fork or in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
2. Stir in the cheese and knead by hand until the mixture holds together, adding a few drops of cold water if necessary.
3. This mixture may be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen until ready to use.
4. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (5 mm) and cut into strips about 1/2 inch (1 cm wide) and 4 inches (10 cm) long.
5. Sprinkle with coarse salt and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
6. Bake in a preheated 450F (230C) until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
7. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
