Preparation:
2

Mix flour, butter, egg yolks, salt, sugar and paprika with enough water to make a soft homogeneous dough. Set aside for a few minutes.
3

Cut cheese in strips (1/2 x 2 inches).
4

Divide dough in 3 parts, rolling each part very thinly. Then cut 1-inch strips, brush borders with egg white and roll, covering cheese strips completely. Egg white helps in sealing borders.
5

Fry in hot shortening until golden.
6

Serve hot. Usually served with avocado dressing or guacamole.
