Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7 and line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Roll the pastry out to a large rectangle that’s around 5mm thick. Spread it with the mustard, then sprinkle with the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the pastry into long 2cm strips. Lift up one end of a strip and twist until there are about 3 full twists round. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips, then transfer them to the tray.
  3. Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden and crisp. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying warm or leave to cool completely.

  1. Easy swaps: Use any hard cheese you like in place of cheddar and parmesan. You can also play around with what’s spread on the pastry first – quince paste and chutneys work well.
