1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups packed)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and cheese in a bowl until it is well blended. Mix in flour, cayenne and salt. Add the milk; stir until a stiff dough forms. Wrap 1 level tablespoon of dough around each date, completely encasing the date and forming a cylinder. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake biscuits until light golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
