Palito de Queso

This deep-fried delight starts with a thin, slightly sweet dough wrapped around a stick of tangy white cheese. Fried to perfection, it’s a textural tango – crunchy outside, warm and gooey center. Enjoy solo, dipped in sauce or as a flavorful party starter. Depending on the region where you are this pastry could also be called Tequeno or deditos.

Preparation:

  • Preheat oil: Use a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot filled with oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut) to reach 350°F (175°C). Monitor temperature closely with a thermometer.

Frying:

  • Work in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pot and dropping the oil temperature.
  • Control the heat: Maintain oil temperature between 340°F and 360°F (170°C and 180°C). Too high and they burn, too low and they get greasy.
  • Fry for golden perfection: Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serving:

  • Serve immediately: Tequeños are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
  • Offer dipping sauces: Encourage guests to explore the different flavors.
