  2. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate until needed. Sprinkle with additional biltong just before serving.

 

B) To make the cheese twists:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry, and with the long side facing you cut the pastry in half horizontally. Cut each half into 12 short strips.
  3. Combine the cheddar and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cheeses over the pastry strips. Twist the strips and arrange them on the baking trays. Brush the pastry with the milk, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  4. Bake the pastry twists for 30 minutes, or until puffed, golden and baked through.
