Ingredients
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 egg, beaten
    1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 tablespoon cold water
    1/2 teaspoon hot chili powder
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    1 tablespoon poppy seed
    1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees 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.
    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.
