Instructions
- Mix the corn flour, starch, baking powder, salt and paprika in a bowl.
- Add the egg, oil and grated cheese, then gradually work in the water until you have a soft, smooth dough.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of 2 mm.
- Cut the dough into small triangles or diamonds using a knife or a pastry wheel.
- Heat the frying oil to 180 °C and drop the pieces in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes, until they puff up and turn golden.
- Drain them on kitchen paper and let them cool before serving.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Brush the triangles with oil and bake at 180 °C for 10 to 12 minutes, watching so they don't brown too much.
