   POWDER)Heat shortening and water to boiling point. Sift
   flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne together and pour
   into liquid mixture. Stir vigorously until the mixture
   clings together in a mass and leaves the sides of the pan.
   Beat in the cheese. Drop in unbeaten eggs one at a time,
   beating after each addition until mixture is smooth. Drop
   by teaspoons onto a greased(or sprayed)baking sheet. Bake
   in a moderate oven 375 - 35 minutes.JM.
   
   After baking these many times I have found that they are
   wonderful having been baked only 30 mins. They have a more
   soft cheesey taste-but are wonderful browned also.
   Wonderful with tomatoe or cheese soup.

   RUMFORD BAKING POWDER cookbook. They were called Cheese
   Puff Muffins-but are really more of a cheese biscuit.
