Some pie-paste.

Grated cheese.

1 beaten egg.

Pepper and salt. Cayenne pepper, if you like.

Roll out the pastry thin ; strew grated cheese, seasoned, over the whole sheet and roll it up tightly. Roll out again,even thinner than before; strew the rest of thecheese ; roll up and set in a cold place, half an hour, until crisp. Roll again into a sheet, cut into squares or triangles with a cake-cutter, or your jagging-iron; prick with a fork, and bake very quickly in a hot oven. Brush with beaten egg before taking up, and sift raspings of cheese over the top, shutting up in the oven for an instant to glaze the biscuits. Serve at once, on a hot napkin.

These are, it will be seen, a modification of the "fingers," and will be preferred by some. Of course, to those who object to cooked cheese as indigestible, none of the combinations that smell so appetizing and taste so savory, will be a temptation. Cayenne is said to make these more wholesome.
