About Surullitos de maiz
Surullitos de Maíz, often referred to as Puerto Rican cornmeal sticks, are a popular snack or appetizer in Puerto Rican cuisine. These crispy, golden treats are made from a simple dough composed of cornmeal, water, butter, and salt, often enriched with a touch of sugar for slight sweetness. Cheese is frequently incorporated into the mixture for added flavor and richness. Once shaped into small rods, they are deep-fried until perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. While Surullitos are prized for their comforting texture and satisfying taste, their nutritional profile typically includes a high carbohydrate content due to the cornmeal and significant fat contribution from frying, making them an indulgent rather than a health-focused choice. Moderation is key, and baked alternatives may offer a lighter twist on this beloved Puerto Rican staple. Perfect for pairing with dipping sauces, Surullitos showcase the island's flair for flavorful snacking.
