2 Add the butter and cut into the flour with a pastry blender or 2 knives.
3 Beat the egg yolks lightly and combine with the milk.
4 Stir into the flour to form a soft dough.
5 Wrap in waxed paper and chill for 1 hour.
6 Beat the egg whites and fold in the grated cheese and chili powder.
7 Roll out the dough as thinly as possible on a floured board.
8 Cut the dough into 48 circles with a glass.
