Ingredients
Plain flour, to dust
320g
sheet all-butter puff pastry
11/2Tbsp.
Marmite
75g
extra mature Cheddar, finely grated
1
medium egg yolk, beaten
Directions
Step 1Line 2 large baking sheets with baking parchment. Generously flour a work surface and unroll pastry on to it, with a short edge nearest you. Spread Marmite over the top half, then sprinkle 2/3 of the Cheddar on to the Marmite. Fold lower pastry half up to enclose filling.
Step 2Re-roll filled pastry to a rough 18 x 35.5cm rectangle – about 3mm thick. Brush with egg yolk, then sprinkle over remaining cheese. Slice across the width into 2cm strips. Gently twist each strip into a spiral and arrange on the lined sheets. Chill for 10min.
Step 3 Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Cook straws for 15-20min until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve just-warm or at room temperature.
