Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and red pepper or paprika into a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with your hands or with a pastry blender. Add the milk, stirring lightly. Be sure not to over-beat. Fold in the cheese and Worcestershire sauce. When completely blended, turn onto a well-floured board. Roll out to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a floured cutter, or with a floured knife. Brush tops with beaten egg and place on buttered baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 450° F. oven for 14 minutes until golden brown.
These keep well for several days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
