Instructions
- 1Cut 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.
- 2Stretch 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.

Chef tips
To keep the cheese from leaking out during frying, freeze the breaded sticks for at least 20 minutes before putting them in the hot oil. This ensures a crispy shell and a perfectly melted center. For a healthier baked version, spray the sticks with a bit of oil and bake at high heat until golden. Serve with homemade marinara or a yogurt and chive dip that kids just love to dunk in!
