Take four ounces of flour, three ounces of butter, one yolk of egg, three tablespoonfuls of cream, one ounce of grated Parmesan cheese, three tablespoonfuls of water, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix up gently and form a paste. Roll to the thickness of an ordinary biscuit, and cut to any shape. Place in paper bag, arranged so as not to touch each other. Allow ten to twelve minutes in hot oven (320 Fahr.).

This biscuit will keep for months in a dry place, and with it any kind of savory can be served.
