Baked Parmesan Cubes

For your next party, try this instead of the usual cheese cut in chunks.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of cayenne
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg, slightly beaten

Oven: 375 degrees

Mix together the flour, salt, cayenne and cheese. Cut in the butter, then knead with hands until smooth. Roll out on a floured board to a half-inch thickness, and cut in half-inch cubes. Put on greased cookie sheets and brush with egg. Bake about 20 minutes. Cool before serving. Makes about 4 dozen cubes.

Note: undiluted evaporated milk can be substituted for the egg, if desired.
