| 1. Combine the flour, oil, egg, salt and sugar in a bowl. | 2. While kneading, add a tablespoon or two of water. | 3. At first it just makes a mess, but as you knead it it starts to take shape. | 4. Keep kneading until it does not stick to your hands. | 5. If you need to, take the dough out of the bowl and knead it on a floured cupboard, adding flour until the dough does not stick to your hands. | 6. Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours . | 7. While the dough is resting, cut the cheese into strips into a finger-like shape. | 8. They should be maybe 1/2" by 1/2" by 3". | 9. Don't make the"fingers" too long, or they will be more difficult to use later. | 10. After the dough has rested, shape it into balls slightly larger than your fist. | 11. Roll them out until they are 1/4-0.125 inch thick. | 12. Cut the rolled-out dough into long strips that are 3/4" wide. | 13. Wrap the cheese"fingers" with the dough strips. | 14. Make sure you cover all the cheese and seal the dough, because otherwise the cheese will leak out of the dough when you are frying it. | 15. After you have wrapped the cheese in dough, dust the uncooked"tequeños" with flour and fry them in oil. | 16. These are (obviously) fattening, but they are delicious! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
