  • 1 stick softened butter
  • 1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • red cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix butter, flour, salt and pepper as if making pie crust dough. Then, mix in gratedcheese.
  • Form balls, about the size of a walnut. Chill the balls in the freezer about two hours(or store in the freezer until use.)

Notes

(Mixing in food processor is definitely a plus!. Grate cheese finely, remove it, add other ingredients, mix, then add cheese back in. Mix until it forms a big, pastry-likeball.)
