Sorullos

Sorullos are a cherished delicacy in Puerto Rican cuisine, celebrated for their delightfully crispy exterior and soft, dense interior. These fried cornmeal sticks or logs can be savored either as a side dish or an appetizer, available in both sweet and savory variations.

To prepare sorullos, you'll require some staple ingredients: boiling milk or buttermilk, sugar, salt, an egg, flour, cornmeal, and whole kernel corn. For sweet sorullos, you may choose to add extra sugar, butter, milk, and even coconut milk for a richer flavor.

Some versions of sorullos are filled with cheese, resulting in a gooey, melty center. Popular cheese choices include gouda, cheddar, and mozzarella, but feel free to experiment with your preferred varieties. Another delightful variation involves stuffing them with mashed bananas.

Sorullos are typically served hot, making them an ideal pairing with a cup of coffee. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce such as mayoketchup (a blend of mayonnaise and ketchup) or even sprinkled with confectioners' sugar for a sweet touch.

Whether you're in the mood for something sweet or savory, sorullos are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal.
