--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       c            All-purpose flour
     1/4   ts           Salt
     1/2   ts           Dry mustard
     1/2   ts           Hot chili powder
   1       lg           Pinch cayenne pepper
     1/4   c            Butter or margarine
     1/2   c            Finely grated Cheddar cheese
   1                    Egg, beaten
   1       tb           Cold water
   1       tb           Sesame seeds
   1       tb           Poppy seeds

  Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). 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 12x6" rectangle. Trim edges. Cut in half
  lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet.
  
  Breush 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.
