Ingredients
To make Tequeños Venezolanos, you will need the following ingredients:
1 lb of Queso Blanco or any white cheese that is easy to melt
1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of warm water
1 egg, beaten
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and warm water. Slowly pour the butter and water mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling
Cut the Queso Blanco into long, thin strips.
Step 3: Assemble the Tequeños
Take a small piece of dough and roll it out into a thin rope. Place a strip of cheese on top of the dough and roll it up, making sure to seal the edges. Repeat the process until all of the dough and cheese is used up.
Step 4: Fry the Tequeños
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the Tequeños to the pan. Fry the Tequeños until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Tequeños hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
