LOVE IT OR HATE IT - MARMITE AND CHEESE STRAWS WITH A TWIST!
Another one of my daughter's recipes - she always makes these for us when she is home. Cheesy, crispy and flaky pastry straws with a lick of marmite - great for pre-dinner drinks, picnics, lunch boxes or snacks. The Marmite company has a very clever advert that announces that you either LOVE Marmite or HATE it! I love it, that's why it has been added to these delicious Cheese Straws........however, if you HATE it - I have suggested alternatives. My daughter only ever uses Marmite in her cheese straws - but then she is also a Marmite lover! Serve these in a tall glass for tasty appetiser nibbles - if you are using the other flavours, you can lable the glasses so Marmite haters can be pre-warned! Have fun! (For all my Aussie friends - PLEASE use Vegemite if you REALLY have to!!!)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
- Divide the packet of puff pastry into four and use one portion at a time (popping the rest back in the fridge).
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll each portion to a rectangle measuring about 31cm x 21cm.
- Spread the pastry with the marmite and then sprinkle with a quarter of the grated cheese.
- Fold the pastry over lengthways and press firmly together.
- Cut about eight 1cm wide strips then cut each strip in half (so the straws aren't too long) and twist.
- Arrange on baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes before cooking or freeze until ready to cook, then bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up - the cheese will also have melted.
- Trim the ends of the straws and carefully stand in glasses for a spectacular way of serving the straws.
- Alternatively, freeze the uncooked straws in baking sheets lined with parchment and cook from frozen when your guests arrive - you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Steps:
- Tear up the two slices of bread and blend into soft breadcrumbs.
- Add the breadcrumbs, grated potato, grated cheddar cheese, spring onions, egg and salt and pepper to a large bowl and mix until properly combined.
- Add the marmite and a splash of water to a small bowl and microwave until slightly runny. Set aside.
- Dust the surface with plan flour and roll out 500g (2 cups) of shortcrust pastry into a rectangular shape the thickness of a pound coin.
- Use a 15-16cm (6 in) diameter bowl to cut out circles of the pastry.
- Brush the marmite in a circle in the middle of the circle, leaving a 2-3cm (1 in) border around the edge. Add 2-3 tbsp of the potato filling on top.
- Brush the border with egg wash and fold over into a semi circle shape, making sure it is sealed.
- Crimp the sealed edges so that the filling is extra secure. Brush with more egg wash.
- Re-roll any leftover pastry to make more!
- Bake for around 50 mins at 150°C (300°F) until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
