Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, cayenne
pepper, and cheese thoroughly. Add melted margarine and mix.
Chill dough in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Place dough on a large, floured board. Place a large piece of
waxed paper on top of dough or use a heavily-floured rolling pin.
Roll dough to 1/4-inch thick. Remove wax paper.
Holding a fork upside down, draw the prongs vertically along
dough from top to bottom, making ridges. With a wide, flat knife
cut dough into rectangular shapes 3 x 1 inch. Oil a cookie sheet
and place cut cheese on it.
Bake in 400 F oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese straws look dry
but not brown. Let cool. Repeat procedure until all of dough is
baked. Serve at room-temperature. Freezes well.
