Sprinkle one-half with grated cheese (any kind of cheese will do, but Parmesan is preferred); also add a few grains of cayenne and salt.
Fold the other half over this and press the edges together closely.
Fold again to make three layers, turn half-way round, pat and roll out to the thickness of one-fourth an inch.

Sprinkle one half with cheese and proceed as before.

Continue rolling and adding the cheese, until, to one cup and a half of flour, from half to a whole cup of cheese has been used.

After the last rolling, cut into bands half an inch wide, or into rings and straws one-fourth an inch wide.

The straws and bands should be four or five inches in length, and the rings large enough to hold three or four straws.
