 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  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.
