1/4 tap. Garlic Powder

1/8 tsp. Salt

1/8 tsp. Ground Red Pepper

1 C. Grated Cheddar Cheese

1/4 C. Butter

3-5 tsp. Cold Water

1 Beaten Egg

2 tsp. Toasted Sesame Seed or Poppy Seed

 

In large mixing bowl combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper.  Cut in cheese and butter until pieces are the size of small peas.  Sprinkle 1 tsp. water over part of the mixture.  Toss gently with a fork to coat.  Push to side of bowl.  Repeat until all flour mixture is moistened.  Shape dough into ball.  On lightly floured surface, flatten dough with hands.  Roll out dough from center to edges, forming a 10” square.  Brush with egg.  Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seed.  Cut dough into 5 x 1/2” strips.  Twist each strip.  Place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake in 400F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
