Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cornmeal (fine or medium grain)
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 ounces Mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice, cut into sticks)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just starting to come to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan (this will take about 2-3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the dough to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes until it is cool enough to handle.
Once the dough has cooled, divide it into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc with your hands.
Place a stick of cheese in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the dough around the cheese, sealing the edges tightly to form a small log shape. Make sure no cheese is exposed to avoid leaks during frying.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
Fry the sorullos in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the sorullos warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mayo-ketchup or garlic aioli. Enjoy!
