Roll the pastry out to about one-quarter inch thickness sprinkle lightly with paprika and cover the pastry with a thin layer of grated cheddar cheese. Cut into strips about half an inch wide and give each strip a twist. Lay them on a greased baking sheet and bake them in the oven (200C/400F) for 15 minutes for instant cheese straws. Leftover pastry can also be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
