Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, grated cheese and butter or margarine in a bowl and mix until well combined.

Add water a little bit at a time to make a very stiff dough.

On a lightly floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into just slightly thicker than pencil shaped sticks.

Cut sticks into 4 to 5 inch lengths.

Arrange the pieces on the baking sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 minutes or until browned.
