Cheese Sables

1 cup flour
2/3 cup butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
dash of cayenne
1 egg, beaten (to glaze)

Sift flour, salt and cayenne. Add butter cut into small pieces. Rub in with finger tips. Add cheese and knead to a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out and cut into 2 inch squares. Cut each square diagonally to form 2 triangles. Place on greased cookie sheet and brush with egg. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
