Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, salt, paprika, and mustard powder.

Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the grated cheese until evenly distributed.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk.

Add the egg mixture to the cheese mixture and combine until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips or desired shapes using a knife or pastry cutter.

Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
