Directions Cornmeal-Cheese Sticks (Sorullitos de Maiz)
Directions
-
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.
