1 stick butter, softened
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard (optional)
1/2 tsp salt

Pimento stuffed olives or pecan halves
Sift dry ingredients together. Cream softened butter and cheese; add dry ingredients, blending well.
Drain olives and blot dry with paper towels.
Take about 1 teaspoon of dough and flatten. Put an olive or pecan in the middle and wrap dough around it, rolling to make a ball.
Put tray of balls in freezer until firm, then pop into Ziploc bags. Bake (frozen) at 400° for 15 minutes.
Great to keep on hand for surprise company or as a do-ahead appetizer for a party.
