Recipes Ingredients:

1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Finely grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 ts Salt
1 Egg, beaten
1/2 ts Dry mustard
1 tb Cold water
1/2 ts Hot Chili powder
1 tb Sesame seeds
1 lg Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tb Poppy seeds
1/4 c Butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat Oven to 400'F. (205'C.). Sift flour, salt and spices into a bowl. Cut in Butter finely until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add grated Cheese and mix well. Mix Egg with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons of Egg mixture to Cheese mixture and mix to form a fairly stiff dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough to a 12x6" rectangle. Trim edges. Cut in half lengthwise and transfer to a Baking sheet. Breush each half with remaining Egg mixture. Sprinkle 1 half with sesame seeds and the other half with poppy seeds. Cut each half in 10 triangles and separate slightly to prevent sticking. Bake in preheated Oven 10-12 minutes or until light golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
