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 colour.

Chef tips
To prevent the cheese from oozing out during frying, freeze the coated sticks for at least 20 minutes before adding them to the hot oil. This ensures a crispy coating and a perfectly gooey, melted centre. For a healthier baked version, spray the sticks with a little oil and bake at a high temperature until golden brown. Serve with homemade marinara or a yoghurt and chive dip that children absolutely love for dipping.
