  8. Punch dough and divide equally into 4 pieces, roll out each piece into a log.
  9. Cut into small pieces and roll thinly into 4 X 2 inch rectangles.
  10. Brush surfaces with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Roll into long rods and twirl into shape.

Cooking Tips
  • In resting the dough, always cover with damp cloth to avoid dryness.
  • After resting the dough, the result will be so sticky. After dividing into 4 equal sizes, dust with flour until good enough to roll, do not over flour.
  • Sprinkle sugar before adding grated cheese.
  • Butter and margarine are substitute for vegetable shortening.
