Family Tradition

A holiday tradition my family has is making a Puerto Rican appetizer called sorullitos. You can make it 2 different ways with or without cheese I prefer it without cheese. A sorullitos is a Latin corn fritter. This is a family tradition because it is a warm sweet treat that puts us in the holiday spirit.

The ingredients you will need is:

2cups

water

tsp.

Salt ½tsp.

sugar cups

GOYA® Fine Yellow Corn Meal 1cup

Corn oil

 

Directions

Step1

Bring water to boil in medium pot over medium-high heat. Add salt and sugar. Using a whisk, slowly whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to low. Cook, whisking constantly until water is absorbed and dough pulls away from the pot, 3-5 minutes.

Step2

Transfer cornmeal mixture to heatproof bowl; mix in cheese until melted and completely incorporated. Let cornmeal mixture sit until cool enough to handle. Divide dough into 25 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 2½”-3″ cigar shape.

Step3

Heat 1½” oil in medium, heavy pot over medium-high heat until oil registers 350°F. Fry corn sticks in batches until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch; transfer to paper towel to drain.
