Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cheese and butter. Then add in flour, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt and cayenne and mix together.
Add water and mix together (you may need to use your hands for this). Add extra water if you find the mixture still too dry.
Grab about a teaspoon of the dough mixture and mould it around an olive to make a round little ball. Place each ball on your cookie sheet.
Bake for 14 minutes or until the dough is a golden brown. Serve hot.
