1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter or margarine, cold

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until
crumbly. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle with water and vinegar. Toss with a fork until
a ball forms. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour or until
dough is firm. Divide into six portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each
portion of dough into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges and place on
greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with pepper; lightly press into dough. Bake at
375° for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Cool on wire racks.
