How to make it
- Cut the cheese and long strips and place in your fridge to prevent it becoming soft.
- Mix flour, butter and egg in a bowl, and add sugar, salt and olive oil to taste into the mix.
- Then gradually add milk and knead well for a suitable consistency.
- Stretch out the dough with a rolling pin and cut into long strips (2 to 3 cm) and then roll the strips of dough around the cheese strips forming a spiral.
- Make sure the dough covers the cheese fully so that it doesn't melt out while frying.
- Roll the cheese & dough strips through flour to prevent them from sticking while frying.
- Heat oil in a frying pan until hot before placing the cheese sticks, and fry until golden in color.
