Preparation

Make a dough with flour, butter, egg and a pinch of salt, knead until you get a smooth ball, let rest for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough thin and cut it into long strips about 2 cm (3/4 in) wide.
Cut the cheese into sticks, wrap each stick tightly in a spiral of dough, sealing the ends.
Heat the frying oil to 175°C (345°F).
Fry the tequeños for 3-4 minutes until golden — the cheese should be melty inside.
