 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2   c            Grated sharp cheddar cheese
    1/2   c            Flour, part for rolling
  2       tb           Margarine or butter
    1/4   ts           Salt
          pn           Paprika
          pn           Cayenne pepper
  2       tb           Water

 Mix all together in a bowl.  Original directions suggested shaping into a
 roll 1 1/2 inch wide, chilling at least 2 hours wrapped in wax paper and
 cutting in thin slices to make 1 dozen or more crackers. This would produce
 neatly shaped crackers, possibly thicker than desired.

 By rolling very thin, this amount of dough will make small crackers about
 1/2 inch apart to cover 1 1/2 small cookie sheets. They do puff up while
 baking. May be cut quickly in random small shapes with a plastic knife.

 Suggested toppings coarse salt (made them too salty), garlic salt, celery
 salt, curry powder, or freshly ground black pepper. If the dough is very
 dry after rolling, brush tops with water before salting. If it is soft,
 sprinkle lightly and press the salt into the crackers.

 Bake 5 minutes at 425 F or until browned.
