Инструкции
- Note: These cheesy little appetizers come from the island of Puerto Rico, where they are served as a cocktail snack, either hot from the oven or possibly at room temperature. The optional cayenne is not traditionally used in this recipe.
- Combine the water and salt in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in the cornmeal in a slow, constant stream, stirring constantly, and making sure the water does not stop boiling. Continue to cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 min, stirring constantly, till the mix is smooth and thick.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the grated cheese and optional cayenne pepper.
- Cold to room temperature.
- Roll 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) of the mix into cylinders about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick (7.5 cm x 2.5 cm). Moistening your hands with water will help prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers.
- The surullitos may be kept refrigerated at this point, covered with plastic wrap or possibly wax paper, for a day or possibly two.
- When you are ready to fry the surullitos, heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat till the surface of the oil begins to shimmer (approx 350F, 180C). Fry the surullitos 4 or possibly 5 at a time for about 5 min, turning them occasionally, till they are crisp and golden.
- Drain on paper towels.
- You may keep the surullitos hot by placing them on paper towels in a baking dish in an oven set on its lowest setting.
- Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
- Makes about 20 to 24 sticks.
