Directions
  1. 1
    Sprinkle yeast into 1/2 cup warm water and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine curry powder, paprika, cayenne, margarine, sugar, salt, and scalded milk (cooled to lukewarm).
  3. 3
    Add egg yolks and the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir well.
  4. 4
    Gradually add flour, beating well after each addition, until a stiff dough forms. You may not need all the flour.
  5. 5
    Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

    In a separate small bowl, beat egg whites with cornstarch until stiff, then fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese. Set aside.
  7. 7
    Stir the remaining 1 cup of cheese into the risen dough.
  8. 8
    Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll each out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  9. 9
    Cut the dough using a 3-1/2 inch round cutter dipped in flour.
  10. 10
    Pinch each circle together across the middle, then gently twist the middle two times while keeping the sides round and flat.
  11. 11
    Place twists 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets.
  12. 12
    Top each side of the twists with 1 level teaspoon of the egg white and cheese mixture.
  13. 13
