- Plain flour, for dusting, if not using parchment to roll your pastry

- 8-9 slices good-quality streaky bacon (not thick cut!)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Preparation
Step 1
Keeping a supply of puff pastry sheets in the freezer is like paying your insurance premiums. Except in this case, it is a delight to be able to take advantage of being paid up.
A number of years ago, I discovered refrigerated puff pastry sheets and I began a crazy period when they featured almost daily in my baking repertoire with sweet fillings, savory toppings and all the permutations between the two. I even taught a small class for a few of my Malaysian friends who had never used puffed pastry and wanted to be able to duplicate some of my treats for their families. The beauty of puff pastry sheets is that you can throw them in the freezer (if they haven't already come frozen) to extend their use-by date because they thaw so quickly, even as you are preheating your oven. Then they bake to golden crunchy perfection!
You can cut the twists into smaller pieces once baked to make the perfect snacking nibbles with cocktails. Even handier, these savory treats can be frozen once baked and rewarmed in the oven when ready to serve.

8-9 slices good-quality streaky bacon (not thick cut!)
1 egg, lightly beaten
Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry between each slice of bacon.
Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving at least two to three inches in between the twists to allow space for the puff pastry to expand. You may have to bake these in two batches, depending on the size of your pan. Chill the pastry twists in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F or 200°C.
Remove the twists from the refrigerator and brush with the beaten egg.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool a little. Serve warm or at room temperature.
