Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Lightly grease baking sheets; set aside. In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, red pepper (if using), and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until the size of coarse crumbs. Stir in ½ cup finely shredded cheese. Add the ¾ cup milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Form into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 10-inch square, ¼ inch thick. Brush with the 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with ½ cup finely shredded cheese; press lightly. Cut into sixteen 2½-inch squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to make 32 triangles. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
