Preparation
- Cut the cheese into long strips and chill in the fridge so it stays firm.
- Mix the flour, butter and egg in a bowl, season with the sugar, salt and olive oil, then gradually add the milk and knead well to a smooth, workable dough.
- Roll out the dough and cut into long strips 2–3cm wide. Roll each strip around a cheese strip in a spiral, making sure the dough fully covers the cheese so it doesn't melt out while frying.
- Roll the cheese sticks through flour to stop them sticking, then heat oil in a frying pan until hot and fry until golden.
