Cook With Us #20 - Snacks and Quick Bites – Bacon & Cheese Sesame Seed Twists
Who can resist a snack or a quick bite? I know I can't; especially something cheesy and crunchy:)

I dare you to have just one of these flaky Sesame Seed pastries filled with hot English Mustard, Bacon & Mature Cheddar Cheese - and I bet my bottom dollar you will be going to that platter again and again; they were absolutely irresistible!

I think most of my foodie friends know by now that I love using ordinary pantry staples in my cooking and baking; not only does it save the bucks, but it also saves a ton of time and effort! 

So for this week's [Cook With Us Challenge,](https://whaleshares.io/@cookwithus/cook-with-us-week-2-snacks-and-quick-bites) now on Whaleshares but still run by the masterchefs @pandamama and @offoodandart, I've made Bacon & Cheese Sesame Seed Twists using a flaky buttery homemade pastry filled with a good quality hot English Mustard, Bacon bits & Mature Cheddar Cheese.
**Would love to compete with some of our old contestants over there :)**

**RECIPE**
**Flaky Pastry**
* 125 gram Ice Cold Butter
* 375 ml Cake Flour
* Salt
* 1 Egg yolk + enough Cider to make 100ml liquid *- you can drink the rest;)*
*Digressing from my pastry recipe here - it usually calls for 2 tsp vinegar & iced water but I felt like trying cider & it worked like a charm.*
*Grate most of the butter into flour & salt & work in with a knife till it resembles fine breadcrumbs.*
*Add liquid and knead to a smooth pastry.*
*Roll out into a long rectangle, grate some butter on one third, fold over, grate remaining butter over, fold final third over & pastry's ready for action.*

I enjoyed my snacks with a light Cider and served them in these quirky glasses we bought from a street vendor who made them from old cider bottles, quite ingenious!
