Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons goya sazon seasoning
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 cups mild cheddar cheese, grated
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place water, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Sazon seasoning into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat, add cornmeal slowly, stir to avoid creating lumps. Keep stirring, & continue cooking on low heat.
  • Remove from heat, add the cheese and blend well. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Put a teaspoon of the mixture in the palm of your hand. Place on flat surface, roll into sticks.
  • Place the corn sticks on a tray, cover with wax paper and put in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer, fry the corn sticks until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil.

These were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them instead of frying them.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices.

These were delicious! I used a gluten-free cornmeal and they still turned out great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't add enough milk?

Amazing! I made these for my Puerto Rican husband and he said they were the best surullitos he's ever had.

These were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them without the sugar.

Not bad, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cheese. Maybe a sharp cheddar or a queso fresco.

These cornmeal sticks were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I loved the slightly sweet flavor and the hint of anise. I will definitely be making these again.
