Palitos o Deditos de Queso (Cheese Sticks)
Ingredients
- Oil for frying
- 2 about 8-ounce blocks of queso blanco for frying white cheese cut into 4 by ½-inch sticks
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 teaspoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 5 tablespoons of butter
- 6 tablespoons of sparkling water or ice water
Instructions
- To make the dough: Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and water until a dough forms.
- Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 40 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle.
- With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough into strips about three times the size of the cheese sticks.
- Wrap the cheese stick using one strip of dough overlapping the dough. Fold and seal the edges.
- Repeat this process with the remaining cheese and dough. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cheese sticks until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the palitos de queso to a plate lined with paper towel and eat immediately.
