How to Make Hot Cheese Pups
- Activate yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine warmed milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt.
- Add yeast mixture and egg: Stir in the activated yeast mixture and the egg until well combined.
- Gradually add flour: Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheese and chopped onion.
- Shape the cheese pups: Punch down the dough and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough into a 14x8 inch rectangle.
- Cut and fill: Cut the rectangle into seven 2x7 inch pieces. Place about 3 rounded tablespoons of the cheese mixture down the center of each piece.
- Seal: Bring the edges of the dough to the center over the filling, then pinch to seal tightly. Seal the ends as well.
- Second rise: Place the shaped cheese pups seam-side down on lightly greased baking sheets. Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Fry: Heat about 1/4 inch of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the cheese pups in the hot butter. Fry for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through, turning carefully to brown all sides. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy!
