--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       1/2           cup  all-purpose flour
       3/4           cup  finely ground toasted pecans
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
       1/4      teaspoon  ground black pepper
       1/4      teaspoon  cayenne
    2        tablespoons  cold unsalted butter -- cut up
       1/4         pound  sharp cheddar cheese -- grated
    2        tablespoons  cold water
                          kosher salt -- for sprinkling, optional

Heat oven to 350F.  In food processor, pulse flour, pecans, 1/2 tsp 
salt, black pepper, and cayenne.  Add butter; pulse until mixture 
resembles coarse meal.  Add grated cheese; pulse until pieces are no 
longer visible.  With machine running, gradually add cold water; 
process until dough comes together.

Transfer to a lightly floured surface; divide dough into 2 equal 
parts.   Roll out each into a 1/4" thickness.  Sprinkle very lightly 
with kosher salt (optional).  Cut dough into 2 1/2" rounds or other 
desired shape; transfer to ungreased baking sheet.  Bake for 15 min 
until centers are firm to touch.  Do not overbake.  Cool on wire 
rack.  Store in airtight containers.
