Sorullitos — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

Sweet, cigar-shaped cornmeal fritters fried until golden on the outside and soft inside, often served with a mayo-ketchup dipping sauce.

Ingredients

1 Bring water, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan.
2 Reduce heat to low and slowly add cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
3 Cook and stir five minutes until mixture pulls away from the sides and forms a thick dough. Add cheese if using.
4 Let dough cool enough to handle. Roll into cigar-shaped pieces about three inches long.
5 Heat oil to 350F. Fry sorullitos in batches until golden brown all over, about three minutes.
6 Drain on paper towels and serve hot with mayo-ketchup sauce.

Did You Know?

Sorullitos get their name from the Spanish word for "little cigar" because of their elongated shape.
