Ingredients:





     1 c  All-purpose flour


   1/4 ts Salt


   1/2 ts Dry mustard


   1/2 ts Hot chili powder


     1 lg Pinch cayenne pepper


   1/4 c  Butter or margarine


   1/2 c  Finely grated Cheddar cheese


     1    Egg, beaten


     1 tb Cold water


     1 tb Sesame seeds


     1 tb Poppy seeds






 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.
