The tequeños or Small cheese pancake are stuffed dough with cheese in the shape of fingers, they are native to South America, being Venezuela and Colombia the countries that consume the most, such as breakfast, snack or appetitive. In my country is a very popular food because everyone likes, "there is no party without tequeños" we say Venezuelans and we make jokes like "I only came for tequeños", and that is that nobody can resist these wrapped cheese sticks In a crunchy and delicious dough, hot with the melted cheese I enjoy them even more.

The puff pastry is of French origin, it can be baked or fried, it is characterized by being crispy and getting rid of in the mouth when biting it. In the recipe that I present to you next I will prepare this famous mass and with her a more elegant version of the traditional tequeños.

Ingredients:

1. Two cups of unleavened wheat flour.

2. A pinch of salt.

3. Two eggs.

4. A cup of melted butter.

5. A kilo of hard white cheese.

6. Frying oil.

Previous steps:
The first step will be to cut the cheese into blocks approximately one centimeter thick and reserve it in the refrigerator for the end of the preparation.

In a bowl place the flour and salt, make a hole in the center to deposit the liquid ingredients.

Melt a cup of butter in a pot and bring it to a very low heat (never boil).

We add the liquid butter to the bowl where it would be and with the help of a manual mixer we mix the ingredients.

When we achieve a homogenous mass, we stop beating machine.

Now on a wide table spread flour, proceed to knead with your hands and with the help of a rolling pin.

When the dough feels compact and does not stick to your hands, let it rest for 20 minutes in a warm place.

After this time we extend it on the table with the roller until it is thin, approximately 2 millimeters. We remove the edges with a pizza cutter and form a large rectangle.

With the help of the cutter we will divide the dough into strips of two centimeters.

To make the tequeño we take one of the strips and wrap a block of cheese.

One by one we do it with all the dough strips and all the blocks of cheese until the ingredients are used up.

When we have all our cheese sticks ready we proceed to fry them in abundant hot oil until they are golden brown.

Now we are ready for some delicious snacks that no one can deny, they are ideal for a snack or to share with friends in a meeting. Enjoy them accompanied by your favorite sauce, I did it with sweet onion sauce, I can not explain how delicious this combination is, I recommend it a lot and I hope you are encouraged to recreate this recipe at home.
