1. In a large bowl cream butter with an electric mixer until soft and smooth.
2. Beat in cheese until well blended.
3. In small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper.
4. Sprinkle into the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
5. Pour in water or just enough to help the dough cohere (it will be crumbly). do not over beat.
