Roll plain or puff-paste into a rectangular sheet one fourth an inch thick. Sprinkle one half with grated cheese, Parmesan being preferable; sprinkle also very lightly with paprika or cayenne. Fold the other half of the paste over the cheese and press the edges together; fold again, then pat and roll out as before; then add cheese as at first, folding and rolling out in the same way; add cheese twice more, then, when it is rolled into a sheet, cut into strips or straws and rings. Bake about eight minutes.
1 cup of pastry flour. 1/2 teaspoonful of paprika. 1/4 teaspoonful of salt 1/3 cup of butter. 1/4 teaspoonful of baking-powder. 1/2 to 1 cup of cheese - cold water.
Make as any plain paste, adding the grated cheese with the butter.
