These are very similar to the cheese biscuits that a dear friend used to always make for parties. Delicious. Adjust the heat to your liking.

How to Make Cheese Krispies

Step-by-Step

Add the cayenne pepper and salt to the sifted flour.
Cut the butter into the flour mix.
Work the mixture between your fingers to produce a cornmeal-like consistency.
Add the cheese and crispy rice cereal.
Continue to combine with your fingers. The more you mix, the more butter-like the dough will become and will better hold the crispies together.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, working in your hands to press the balls together.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Press the balls flat with a fork or the bottom of a flour covered glass.
Bake in a preheat oven at 350 for 15 minutes or until golden.
After completely cooked, store in an airtight container.
