Cheese Chili Bites
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon hot chili powder
1 lg pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup cheddar cheese — finely grate
1 egg — beaten
1 tablespoon water — cold
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Preheat oven to 400:. 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 12×6″ rectangle. Trim edges. Cut in half lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet. Brush 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.
