Preparing PAN Flour Fingers is simple and rewarding . This traditional Venezuelan recipe combines PAN flour dough with a tasty filling, creating an irresistible bite. Follow the steps below to enjoy these delicious little fingers in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Precooked flour PAN
- 1 1/2 cups Warm water
- 1/4 tbsp Salt
- 2 cups Edible oil
- 1 cup Grated white cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the PAN flour with the salt. Add the warm water little by little while stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula. Continue mixing until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Add grated white cheese.
- Once the dough is well mixed, knead it with your hands on a lightly floured surface. Continue kneading for a few minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more PAN flour.
- Form the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Then, take each ball and roll it out with your hands on a lightly floured surface, shaping it into an elongated cylinder. Slightly press the ends to give them a pointed shape characteristic of little fingers.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fingers. You can try a small piece of dough: if it dips into the oil and starts to brown quickly, the oil is ready.
- Carefully place the fingers in the hot oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to turn them from time to time so they cook evenly.
- Once golden brown, remove the fingers from the pan and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
