Method

  • step 1

    heat oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Unroll a puff pastry, scatter over a couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan, then fold in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into 1cm strips, then twist the strips 3-4 times. Lay on a baking sheet, scatter over more cheese and bake for 12 mins, or until golden. Leave to cool, then keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days. As these cheese straws are very delicate, roll them in kitchen paper before packing into a plastic container.

I have hands the size of a Barbie Doll, so should I triple the measure?

I didn’t have any pastry so I just made do with sponge fingers. I don’t like cheese so I replaced that with fruit and jelly. I thought it should have some dairy so I topped it with whipped cream. If I’m honest it tasted more like a trifle than a cheese straw but my friends enjoyed it.

As dry as a bone and I can't taste the cheese at all - even though I used a whole wedge of it.
