Cheese Hooies

1/4 lb strong cheese -- (we use cheddar)
1/4 lb butter
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 Dash cayenne -- (red) pepper
1 cup sifted flour
Powdered sugar -- optional

Grate the cheese into the butter and cream well. Add salt and cayenne
pepper. Work the flour in until blended, then knead on a board until
smooth. Roll into a long thin roll. Chill. Slice thinly. Bake on a
cookie sheet at 350 degrees F until beginning to brown (8 minutes or
more). Dust with powdered sugar. Normally we leave the powdered sugar
out of the recipe, but give it a try, if you like. Double the recipe
for a party. appetizers, depending on how thin your roll is.
