Sorullos


Sorullos are a fried cornmeal-based dish that is a staple of the Puerto Rican cuisine. Sorullos are served as a side dish or as appetizers, and are sometimes stuffed with cheese or mashed bananas. They can be served with mayoketchup or dusted in confectioners' sugar.

Description

Sorullos are made of a mix of boiling milk or buttermilk, sugar, salt, egg, flour, cornmeal and whole kernel corn, formed as sticks or logs, then fried. The flavor is usually lightly sweet, but can also be savory. Sorullos are best served hot, with coffee, and the texture is crisp on the outside and dense and soft in the inside.
Sweet sorullos contain more sugar, butter, milk and coconut milk.
Sorullos can also be stuffed with gouda cheese, cheddars, mozzarella, or other cheeses.
