How To Make Quesitos Very Easy

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Measure 1 cup of flour into a bowl.

Add approximately 3 tablespoons of sugar to the flour.

Sprinkle in a little salt.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture.

Crack in 1 whole egg.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the mixture.

Add a little water as needed to achieve the right consistency.

Stir the mixture until combined, adding more flour if necessary for dusting.

Shape the dough until it reaches a nice consistency, similar to making pizza dough.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for a few hours to rest.

Prepare the cream cheese by cutting it into small pieces for filling.

Dust the work surface with flour and roll out the dough using a rolling pin.

Cut the rolled dough into squares for each quesito.

Place a piece of cream cheese in the center of each square.

Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cream cheese.

Wrap the dough around the cream cheese and seal the edges by pinching them together.

Twist the ends of the wrapped dough to secure the filling inside.

Repeat the process until all 10 quesitos are formed.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the quesitos on a baking sheet and brush them with honey for a golden finish.

Bake the quesitos in the oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the quesitos from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
