Sorullos

Sorullos are a popular fritter-like food, primarily found in Puerto Rican cuisine. They are typically made from cornmeal, flour, milk (or coconut milk in some variations), sugar, and butter or other fat. The mixture is formed into small, elongated shapes, resembling thick fingers or small logs. These are then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and slightly sweet on the inside.

Sorullos are commonly served as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. They are often accompanied by a variety of dipping sauces, such as mayoketchup (a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup), garlic sauce, or a sweet chili sauce. Variations exist, sometimes incorporating cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, into the batter for a savory version. The dish is also found, under slightly different names and preparations, in other Caribbean and Latin American cuisines, reflecting a shared culinary heritage. While most recipes are fried, some modern approaches explore baking methods to reduce fat content.
