"Cornmeal sticks or sorullitos are a snack or appetizer popular among Hispanic Caribbean folk. In Puerto Rico, they are commonly served as part of a cheese platter with salsa rosada (Puerto Rican-style homemade Thousand Island dipping sauce made with garlic, mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and cilantro) or ajilimojili (garlic and sweet chili pepper dipping sauce). Serve with salsa rosada or ketchup."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add butter; use fingers to crumble into flour until the mixture resembles peas.
- Combine water and milk in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Pour into cornmeal mixture; stir rapidly until dough forms a soft ball that separates from the sides of the bowl. Add Cheddar cheese; stir to combine.
- Cover bowl with a clean dish cloth; allow dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of dough; using your hands, form a ball and then roll into a stick. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Heat oil in a large skillet; fry sticks until golden, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- In Puerto Rico, they use mild cheeses known as queso de papa or queso de bola instead of the Cheddar cheese.
- Editor's Note:
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
