    List of Ingredients




    4 batches (unknown #)
    25 minutes 15 mins prep
    8 cups flour
    3 tablespoons double-acting baking powder
    1 tablespoon salt
    2 cups cold butter or shortening (original uses shortening)
    3 cups milk
    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
    cayenne pepper, to taste (or sweet paprika, if you don't like spicy)

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
    In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    With a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in the cold butter into the dry ingredients.
    Add the milk and stir with a fork until the dough holds together.
    Gather dough into a ball, then divide into 4 equal portions; lightly knead each portion 15 strokes.
    On a lightly-floured board roll out one of the portions to 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheddar, then fold dough in half and roll it back out to 1/4-inch thick and about 6 inches wide.
    Cut the cheesed dough crosswise into 1/2-inch strips, tie each into a loose knot, and place on a non-stick or lightly sprayed baking sheet 1 inch apart from each other; sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste.
    Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes.
    Repeat the steps to add the cheese to the dough, cutting into strips, tying, and baking with the other 3 portions of dough.
