Ingredients
Instructions
First, cut the cheese into 12 thick strips.
In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Add egg, butter and water. Stir with a spatula and then knead with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add one more tablespoon of water.
Knead on a flat surface until the dough is uniform and smooth.
Shape it into a ball, place it in the bowl, cover it with a cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Once risen, flatten the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface.
Roll out the dough until it is 0.2-inch (0.5-cm) thick. Shape the dough into a 10x13-inch (25x33-cm) rectangle. Cut it into 12 strips of the same size.
Flatten each strip with a rolling pin, it should be 18-inch (46-cm) long, then wrap each cheese stick with the strip. Seal the ends.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and fry each stick for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
Once done, place on oil absorbing paper and serve immediately.
