Cheese Twists

refrigerated pie crusts

cheddar cheese

egg (beaten)

cayenne hot sauce

salt

Paprika

Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Beat egg and cayenne; set aside

Unroll pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Brush entire circles of crust with the egg mixture (reserve a bit for brushing the twists). Distribute cheese evenly over half of each crust.

Fold the ends without cheese over the sides with cheese forming a semi circle and press or roll getting out any air bubbles and that the cheese adheres to the dough.

Using a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut into 1-inch/2.5 cm strips and form twists by holding the ends and twisting in opposite direction. Place on prepared pan and brush with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle with coarse salt (if desired) and paprika.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Everything tastes better fried, and these dollops of custard are no exception.

Leche frita (fried custard)

(50 grams) cornflour,

(75 grams) plain flour

milk

cinnamon quill

berries,

(500 milliliters) sunflower oil

eggs

(100 grams) panko or stale breadcrumbs

(60 grams) pure icing sugar

tsp cinnamon
