Sorullos Recipe

Sorullos are delicious corn fritters that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For this sorullitos de maiz recipe, we used cheese. 

There is something about sorullos, and that is that they are cheesy, sweet, salty, fried, and simply just amazing.

They should be served at every single gathering, in my opinion! 

How to Make Sorullos Using an Air Fryer

Depending on your air fryer, you can bake them. Set the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Flip the sorullos and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes depending on desired crispiness.

Can you freeze sorullos?

Yes, you can freeze sorullos. You can freeze them uncooked. I like to flash freeze them for about 5 minutes and place them inside a freezer-friendly bag.

They last a pretty long time as long as they are sealed correctly.

You can thaw them the night before in the fridge before frying.

Use a saucepan and place it on top of the stove. Heat over medium heat.

Start mixing the water, butter, sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer. 

One is simmering, add the cornmeal and while cooking continues to stir constantly until smooth. A small soft ball will begin to form, about 5 minutes.

When the dough is smooth and remove it from the stove and add the cheese.

On a frying pan, heat the oil, about 350F and fry the sorullos until they are golden brown on all sides.
