Surullitos de Maiz (Cornmeal Sticks) image

Fried corn sticks are a common appetizer here in Puerto Rico. Although time consuming, it is well worth the effort. Be sure to eat them immediately. I find that once the corn sticks have gone cold, they are about as tasty as cold French fries.

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
5 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
4 ounces Edam cheese, shredded
2 cups oil for deep frying
1 cup ketchup
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Combine the water and salt in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cornmeal and sugar. Return to medium heat, and cook stirring constantly until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat, and stir in the Edam cheese until well blended.
  • Roll tablespoonfuls of the cornmeal mixture into balls. Then roll the balls into small fat sticks about 3 inches long. In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup and mayonnaise to make the dipping sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully place some of the corn sticks into the oil so they are not crowded. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from hot oil, and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the sauce.

These cornmeal sticks were a little too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been seasoned with a little more salt and pepper.

These cornmeal sticks were a little too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.
