Preheat the oven to 220ºC/fan 200ºC/gas mark 7. Take a chilled strip and roll in opposite directions to create a twist. Gently roll to create a long straw. Cut in half and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200ºC/fan 180º C/gas mark 6 and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
