     1/4  lb            sharp cheddar cheese -- grated
   1      c             flour
   1      stick         butter  (4 oz.)
     1/8  tsp           cayenne  (or less to taste)
   1 1/2  tsps          corn meal
                        salt to taste
                        pecan halves  (optional)

Mix all ingredients in food processor just until a ball of dough forms.  On
a floured board shape into a log 1 1/2" thick.  Refrigerate for at least
one hour.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Remove from refrigerator and slice into 1/4" thick slices.  If desired
place a pecan half or pecan quarter in the centre of each biscuit.
Bake approximately 12 minutes, watching carefully.  They will continue to
brown while cooling and taste better if they are not overdone.
These keep well in tightly covered containers.  The logs of dough may also
be frozen until ready to use.  Thaw the log and slice into biscuits.
