Cheese Sticks
These fried cheese sticks are a straightforward snack, built around cold mozzarella wrapped in a simple flour-and-egg dough. The trick to keeping the cheese from melting out is to start with it very cold and make sure it's fully encased in the dough. Once they hit the hot oil, fry them until they're golden and crisp, ready for dipping.

Chill Mozzarella and Make Dough
First, slice the mozzarella into long strips and pop them into the fridge. Keeping the cheese cold is key here; it helps prevent it from melting too quickly once it hits the hot oil.
In a bowl, combine the flour, butter, and egg. Stir in the sugar, salt, and olive oil, then gradually add the milk, kneading until you have a smooth, elastic dough that's easy to work with.
