When she makes these palitos de queso or Colombian cheese sticks, Janeth Palacio Barrera gets a little homesick. She lives in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, but for her, home will always be Medell\u00edn, Colombia<\/a>, where she was born and grew up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWhen I was little, we helped my mother mix the dough, grate the cheese and roll them into braided cheese sticks,\u201d says Janeth. \u201cAnd of course, we helped eat the palitos, which were always calientes y llenos de amor\u201d\u2014piping hot and filled with love. \u201cMi mam\u00e1 always served them as dessert for our family. They are easy and fun to bake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Janeth is the one teaching her kids how to make this traditional treat. \u201dI make them with my children in our Chicago home. My version is a bit healthier than the ones you will typically see if you go to Colombia. I bake, instead of fry my palitos. I hope you enjoy them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    • <\/span>

      2<\/span> eggs<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      2<\/span> sticks<\/span> butter, plus 1 Tbsp to grease the baking tray<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      1<\/span> cup<\/span> mozzarella cheese, grated <\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      2 3\/4<\/span> cups<\/span> flour<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      1<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> baking powder<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      1<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      1\/2<\/span> cup<\/span> milk<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    • <\/span>

      2<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> parmesan cheese<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t

      Directions<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
      • Heat the oven to 350\u00b0.<\/li>
      • Separate one of the eggs. Set aside the egg white and use the yolk for something else or discard. Lightly beat the whole second egg. Set aside.<\/li>
      • Shred the mozzarella cheese. <\/li>
      • In a bowl, mix the grated cheese with the butter.<\/li>
      • Add the flour, baking powder, the lightly beaten whole egg, milk and salt.<\/li>
      • Mix together well and form into a ball. You’ll know the dough is ready when the masa is firm enough that it doesn\u2019t stick to your fingers.<\/li>
      • Let the ball of dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes to stiffen up. <\/li>
      • Lightly flour your work surface. With a baking pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about \u00bd inch thick. Cut long thin strips of dough that are 6 to 8 inches long and 1\/2 inch wide. Take the two ends of each strip and gently twist in opposite directions, curling it into a swirly palito or stick.<\/li>
      • Lay the palitos de queso on a lightly buttered baking tray. Brush them with the egg white.<\/li>
      • Place the baking tray in a 350\u00b0 preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, until they turn golden.<\/li>
      • Sprinkle a dusting of parmesan cheese over all the just-baked palitos. Eat hot!<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t

        Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
        • Palitos de queso can be eaten as a mid-day snack, hors d\u2019oeuvres or dessert.<\/li>
        • It\u2019s easier to grate mozzarella cheese if you first freeze it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\n\t\t\t
