Ingredients by weight, heaviest at the bottom.

Method

  1. Melt the cheese in a pot over low heat, stirring constantly. It will release a cloudy liquid.

  2. Sprinkle in the flour gradually and stir until smooth. Cook until the raw flour smell is gone and the mixture no longer sticks to the pot when stirred with a spoon. It should be cream-yellow.

  3. Stop cooking. Add the sugar a little at a time, stirring; its crystals break up the mixture and give a shredded, fibrous texture.

  4. Let it rest and cool. It is best served warm.
